Neve McIntosh played Madame Vastra last season on Doctor Who, a Silurian who was in a lesbian relationship with a human character named Jenny. A relative newbie to social media, McIntosh took to her recently formed Twitter account to debunk a recent rumor regarding the return of her character.
Roughly a week ago, the Daily Star printed the rumor that Madame Vastra would be returning to the show, and that her character and new companion, Jenna-Louise Coleman, would be in a lesbian relationship together. McIntosh’s responses to the rumors are found below.

@Slughorn42 I know cos even if it’s true I can’t say! But really we’re talking about the daily star….

As we reported earlier, Daily Star rumors tend to pan out into reality about half of the time. Clearly, here McIntosh is not hedging her words, and issuing an out-in-out denial.
Are you disappointed that this rumor isn’t true?
