Birds of a Feather legend Lesley Joseph has dealt a blow to fans of the sitcom and her character Dorien Green.
The actress, 79, shot to fame back in 1989 when she stepped into the stiletto heels of the original tart with a heart. She starred in the sitcom alongside best friends Linda Robson and Pauline Quirke.
However, it appears she has now hung up Dorien’s high heels and short skirts for good…

Lesley Joseph won’t return to Birds of a Feather
Birds of a Feather‘s original run ended in 1998, before it was brought back by ITV in 2014. It was then cancelled again in 2021, following one last Christmas special.
Pauline Quirke, who has early-onset dementia, didn’t appear. It was claimed at the time that she wanted to focus on her acting academy. However, a statement at the start of the year revealed her dementia diagnosis had come in 2021.
Linda Robson has since revealed that Pauline will never act again. But could Lesley and Linda make a comeback in their roles in the sitcom? Lesley doesn’t think so…
