TELEVISION bosses have denied popular soap EastEnders is moving from Borehamwood to Manchester.
Earlier this week, a national newspaper suggested filming might relocate to the corporation's major new centre in Salford Quays, when a long-term contract at BBC Elstree Studios expires in 2015.
However, a BBC statement said today: "There are currently no plans to move EastEnders to Salford"
If the show did move, it would neighbour with rival ITV soap, Coronation Street, which is relocating to the Manchester centre in 2013.
