Life Of Ryan

‘“MICHELLE: Why I quit square,” says the Sun’s headline to an “exclusive” story.

Hollywood or bust

So, as is the way with such exclusives, we turn to the Mirror’s front-page advertised “SHOWBIZ EXCLUSIVE”, and read: “EastEnders Zoe: I’m in love for the first time.”

Over two breathless pages, we hear that actress Michelle Ryan is desperately in love with footballer Tommy Williams, “her first boyfriend”.

And since you were wondering, Michelle wants us to know that she never had a boyfriend when she as at school.

“I was shy and really into school work and my drama,” says she.

But then along came Wealdstone FC’s Tommy, the dynamo who would pick Michelle out of her shell and shower her in glamour.

And glamour is what she wants, because, the Sun says, Michelle is moving on - international fame beckons in her role as the “next Keira Knightly”.

Not so long ago, Michelle was Britain’s answer to Liv Tyler. And we who have seen her acting believe her to be the female answer to Ben Affleck.

Indeed, if things continue as they are, 20-year-old Michelle will have been all the stars by the time she’s 21.

At which point, she can tell us in an exclusive why she is returning to EastEnders as the next Dirty Den…’
