How can I get my 10-year-old daughter back to her own bed?

My 10-year-old daughter has started sleeping with me in my bed for the last two months or so and will not sleep in her own bed. My husband is often away and I go to bed relatively early.

She can be anxious sometimes (like in lifts), but is mostly happy-go-lucky. She explained her change to me that, “you know how I can’t sleep without my teddy? Well, you are my teddy now”. She is stubborn and simply will not stay in her own bed, even if I bring her back there. Have you any advice to get her back to sleeping on her own?
