Longoria defends Hatcher

Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria has defended co-star Teri Hatcher against rumours she is battling an eating disorder, insisting the star is "naturally thin".

Longoria, who plays Gabrielle Solis in the hit series, is appalled by the media's constant criticism of Hatcher's figure and maintains her friend is completely healthy.

She says: "She's definitely naturally thin. She's a dancer too, so she has that natural dancer's body."
