DESPERATE Housewives are now taking desperate measures - as Teri Hatcher's cash-strapped character strips off for a seedy website.
Mum-of-one Susan, played by Teri, 45 - dresses in lacy lingerie and cleans her house provocatively in front of a webcam for paying blokes to ogle.
Then things get even more desperate when hubby Mike, who does not know of her secret gig, unexpectedly returns home.
Luckily, she slams shut the laptop with her stiletto before he can clock what she's been up to - and the pair enjoy a raunchy sex session. The episode of the Channel 4 drama will hit UK screens next year.

Desperate Housewives reportedly "pay homage" to Dallas with an upcoming 'Whodunnit?' plot.
According to TV Guide, the ABC show will mirror the classic 'Who Shot J.R.?' plot when Paul Young is gunned down in the final episode of the year next month.
"Naturally, everyone on Wisteria Lane is a suspect," the site's Mickey O'Connor teased. "But most of the residents have rock-solid alibis."
It is thought the shooting will occur as Paul - played by Mark Moses - puts his dangerous plan into action on Wisteria Lane.
O'Connor confirmed that the episode will see Beth's (Emily Bergl) identity as Felicia Tilman's (Harriet Sansom Harris) daughter revealed to the characters.
He added: "Will anyone corroborate the story of Felicia Tillman's operative, who will be exposed in the aftermath?"
Marc Cherry previously teased that the episode would feature a "huge scene with tons of scary people - more extras than we've ever had."

Larry Hagman is to appear as a guest star in Desperate Housewives in early 2011, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The veteran Dallas actor will play a love interest of Polly Bergen's character, who is the mother of Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman).
Hagman said: "I just decided, and am going to shoot next week."
He also revealed that he has never seen an episode of the show, but has taken to TV-on-demand service Hulu to catch up.
He added: "I can watch a hundred episodes on my iPad. I never watch television, so I better get started so I can see what the show's all about."

Rochelle Aytes is to join the cast of Desperate Housewives in a recurring role.
Movieline reports that the actress will play a former love of Keith (Brian Austin Green) in at least three episodes.
The character will apparently have a hidden agenda and will clash with Keith's new girlfriend, Bree (Marcia Cross) when she arrives on Wisteria Lane.
Aytes previously played the recurring role of lawyer Alice Williams on ABC cop drama Detroit 1-8-7 and also starred in crime series The Forgotten. She has also made guest appearances in episodes of CSI: NY and Bones.
Desperate Housewives returns to ABC on January 2. Aytes is expected to make her debut appearance later that month.

Desperate Housewives may not be renewed for another season, US network ABC has announced.
The comedy drama, starring Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria, has run for seven series so far, with producer Marc Cherry having signed a deal with ABC which takes the show up to 2013.
But ABC executive Paul Lee told the Television Critics Association the fate of the show, as well Brothers And Sisters and Detroit 1-8-7, hangs in the balance.
He lauded the quality of all three shows, but signalled that ratings are the issue as he decides on their return for the 2011-12 season.
However, he announced that Cougar Town, which stars Friends actress Courteney Cox, has been renewed for another season.
Other shows to have been recomissioned include Grey's Anatomy, The Middle, Modern Family and Private Practice
