To further promote tomorrow's Doctor Who Easter special, this week's hotlight shines on the delectable MICHELLE RYAN, who co-stars in Planet Of The Dead as the black cat-suited Lady Christina. Having came to everyone's attention playing Zoe Slater for five years on EastEnders, Michelle went on to guest-appear in a few TV shows and appear in low-budget films (Cashback, I Want Candy), before a surprise move to America to headline NBC's Bionic Woman remake.
Sadly, this potential springboard to superstardom twanged rather badly, when the show was axed after just nine episodes. Upon her return to the UK, she snagged a recurring role as an evil sorceress in Merlin, and has recently finished filming rom-com Mr. Eleven, to air on ITV later this year. Rumours of Michelle becoming the new companion in Doctor Who next year appear unfounded, so her fans will just have to enjoy her one-off stint with the Time Lord tomorrow. Here she is on GMTV talking about filming "Planet Of The Dead":
Date of Birth: 22 April 1984
