From Bionic Woman to blushing bride: Michelle Ryan takes the plunge in new TV series

Her Bionic Woman Hollywood dream may have prematurely short circuited, but Michelle Ryan hasn't given up on happily ever after.

The former EastEnders actress has been spotted filming wedding scenes for her new series Mr Eleven in London yesterday, after she abandoned her hopes to conquer the US.

Homecoming: the former EastEnders star has returned to Britain after an attempt to conquer Hollywood


She returned to Britain earlier this year after her much-hyped remake of the 1970s science fiction show was panned by critics and not renewed for a second series.

At the time, sources claimed she was "defeated and depressed" by the outcome of her efforts.

But the 23-year-old has dusted herself off and emerged as quite the blushing bride for her new role as schoolteacher Saz Paley, who is caught in a love triangle.

She teams up with Sean Maguire, fellow former EastEnder who starred in this year's comedy Meet the Spartans, and Coyote Ugly's Adam Garcia for the ITV two-part romantic comedy.

Mr Eleven, by Shameless writer Amanda Coe, takes its title from research which shows a number of British women settle down with their 11th partner.

The programme is set to be broadcast later this year.
