"I think I can safely say no," read her response. "I've already left and come back many times and I've definitely done my time on the show.
"I've finally been able to say goodbye to Florence and while I am very grateful to have been part of this project that has brought so many lovely things in my life, I am also happy to be able to move on and take part in new projects."
She concluded: "But I completely understand why the question is asked. In fact, I am very touched that the public wants to continue following Florence."
