Hatcher's life story to become TV series

'Desperate Housewives' star Teri Hatcher is to turn her life story into a TV series.

The actress, 42, has already sold the series, which is based on her autobiography 'Burnt Toast', to a US network - but it is not yet clear whether Hatcher will play herself.

The programme will follow the ups and downs of her Hollywood career as well as her relationship disasters.

"It shows how not to go down the dark rabbit hole of pain and how to pull yourself out of there," she said.
