Gillian Anderson has denied recent reports that she and X-Files co-star David Duchovny had recently begun dating.
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, Anderson confirmed that the pair were never romantically involved, despite reports that the former co-stars began dating in the summer.
Anderson said: "No, there wasn't any truth in that. I was enjoying the ludicracy [sic] of it for a while, but then he started denying it publicly and so I lost all my enjoyment of it."
When told that she had potentially broken the hearts of X-Files fans who had always hoped for their characters Mulder and Scully to get together, she replied "I know".
She joked: "I emailed him at one point and said: 'You left the toilet seat up again'."
