Michelle Ryan has admitted that she experiences nostalgia when people refer to her EastEnders character.

The Zoe Slater actress, who starred on the BBC soap between 2000 and 2005, said that she enjoys inquisitive fans' questions about her time in Walford.

She told MSN: "It's quite nice, it's become nostalgic now."

Teasing her new film Cockneys vs Zombies, the star added: "Cockneys vs Zombies is set in the East End so the fact I still have people asking about EastEnders is great.

"The character I play is not anything like Zoe but there's still that kind of vibe that has that East End grip to it."

Ryan plays the lead part Katy in Cockney vs Zombies, which will be released on August 24.

The 28-year-old had previously predicted that she will "never get away" from Zoe.
