Creator Derren Litten had teased an 11th series last year this year after the programme last aired in May 2018, according to reports.
However, actress Siobhan, 56, who played Janice Garvey, insists it will not be coming back to screens any time soon.
She told The Sun: ‘Cast and creatives met at a comedy convention for the show, back in the summer, and some stories about a possible TV revival grew out of that.
‘But sadly that was all they were, rumours.
‘You should probably never say never to anything so popular but as far as I know it won’t be coming back at any point.’

Derren confirmed in 2018 that the long-running comedy had come to an end after 10 seasons despite previously insisting the show would go on.
He wrote on Twitter at the time: ‘Yes folks it’s true, after months of speculation, I can finally confirm Benidorm series 10 was the LAST EVER TV SERIES of @BenidormTVshow.’
In November this year, the original stars of the show attended a convention hosted by Derren when he appeared to hint at a possibility of a return for the show.
He was joined on stage by the original Garvey family members who appeared in the first series in 2007.

While the family left the show in series seven, actors Siobhan, Steve Pemberton, Oliver Stokes and Sheila Reid were at the convention.
Playing his character Mick at the live event, Steve asked Siobhan as Janice: ‘Now that we’ve sold that b****y hotel in Las Vegas, could this be our new big adventure?’
Derren then asked: ‘Have you just announced season 11 of Benidorm? Who on earth would watch it?’
He added: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, in the worlds of Madge Garvey in series seven episode two, ‘Never say never. Never say never.”
