Strictly Come Dancing's Claire King has been offered a part in Desperate Housewives.

The Emmerdale and Bad Girls actress caught the attention of the hit show's producers when they visited the UK, according to a report today. She is expected to play a secret sister of Edie Britt, but friends claim that she is more excited about the possibility of scenes with Jesse Metcalfe.

A source told The People: "Claire is so excited and will be playing on her strengths as a strong and sexy character. She'd love to get her hands on Jesse - he's a real hunk."
