Lisa Edelstein has praised the writers of House for exploring the relationship between her character Cuddy and the show's titular character, played by Hugh Laurie.

Speaking to E! Online, the 43-year-old actress, who has played Cuddy for the past five years, promised fans that season six will be "great".

Discussing the rocky romance between House and Cuddy, Edelstein said: "As much as they fight, they fight like people who love each other. They fight like people who have been married for 80,000 years.

"They have a very significant relationship, however it expresses itself at whatever time. She's totally there for him when he gets back."

She added of season six, which premieres tonight on Fox: "It's a great season. It's a rocky road for a lot of the characters and there are some twists and turns that might take people by surprise - if they don't read spoiler pages! It'll be great."
