Eva Longoria was thrown a surprise 33rd birthday party by her husband, San Antonio Spurs basketball player Tony Parker.

The Desperate Housewives actress jetted in to San Antonio airport from Miami and was greeted by a host of Cluedo characters.

A party guest told People: "Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, all of them were there. But there's no Tony, although there was a Spurs coyote - the Spurs mascot - in the crowd."

As the day was drawing to a close, Parker revealed he was dressed as the mascot.

"He's been in the coyote costume the whole day. He was hot, he was sweating, but he was in love with his wife," the guest added.

"There was no party planner. Tony was the mastermind of all this. And it was a big surprise."

Longoria recently defended Desperate Housewives after the show's third season saw a 25% drop in ratings.
