Sheridan rubbishes housewives tension rumour

Nicolette Sheridan is the latest Desperate Housewives star to vehemently deny reports of tension between the show's female leading ladies.

The TV actresses - Sheridan, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman - have been plagued by claims their time on-set is being hindered by constant squabbling and walk-outs.

And Sheridan is adamant if the female stars were men, they wouldn't be subjected to such harsh media treatment.

She says: "It's so funny, all this talk about what goes on between the women in the cast. If we were five men, there wouldn't be this discussion. We all get along fine.

"Of course, I can only speak for myself, but as far as I'm concerned, I have great respect and admiration for my co-stars, I thoroughly enjoy working with them and the only complaint I have is that I wish I had more tim e on set."
