Longoria pleads: No more baths!

Eva Longoria has pleaded with Desperate Housewives producers to stop giving her baths on the show.

The actress plays Gabrielle Solis in the series, and says her scenes in the bath are not only uncomfortable, but they also attract the male stars uninvited to the set.

She said: "I didn't realise how much lingerie I'd be in and how much time I'd spend in the bathtub. I actually had to go to the director and go, 'Can you please stop putting me in the bathtub?'

"It's a pain in the butt to shoot. You're naked and they just fill it up with bubbles and basically they put body make-up on you so you look beautifully tanned with flawless skin and then it just comes off in the water so you're sitting in this brown water all day.

"There have been times when they do all the tub scenes in one day, so I go out and in comes Ricardo (Chavira), then in comes Jesse (Metcalfe). I'm like 'Guys, can we space out the tub scenes?'".
