From Digital Spy:

Strictly Come Dancing's Claire King has been offered a part in Desperate Housewives.

The Emmerdale and Bad Girls actress caught the attention of the hit show's producers when they visited the UK, according to a report today. She is expected to play a secret sister of Edie Britt, but friends claim that she is more excited about the possibility of scenes with Jesse Metcalfe.

A source told The People: "Claire is so excited and will be playing on her strengths as a strong and sexy character. She'd love to get her hands on Jesse - he's a real hunk."

If this is true then brilliant, love her as an actress, but I shant hold my breath, apparantly she's got a new BBC drama in the pipeline so they would clash? :searchme:

[Abbie]

Well.......... well done to her if its true!!!!!!

[Jessie Wallace]

Now that would be truley awsome if Claire was in the show. It would so suit her.

[Footie_Chick]

Yeah it would be great, she would totally suit apart in desperate housewifes.

My God, I hope not.
Please, producers, don't ruin one of my fave shows by putting her in it! :nono:

[Chloe O'brien]

Good luck to claire if she does get a role in DH, but I don't think she will be as bitchy as lynette and the others.

Former Emmerdale and Bad Girls actress Claire King will not be appearing in the next series of Desperate Housewives, Digital Spy can confirm.

For months, the 44-year-old actress has been rumoured to be joining ABC's hit Wisteria Lane drama as Edie Britt's (Nicollette Sheridan) sister, Helen.

However, a source close to Claire told DS: "Claire has been contacted by a number of producers over in the US ever since Bad Girls aired on BBC America but she'll definitely not be appearing in Desperate Housewives.

"She attended meetings with one producer in particular who's worked on various shows – one of them being Housewives – but they were just throwing ideas around."

They added: "The talks have been more about another show, not Housewives. She's not ruled out anything and there are several offers on the table. Over the years, we've learned to expect the unexpected from her."

Claire played super-bitch Kim Tate in Emmerdale for 11 years before quitting in 1999. She then went on to take a four-year leading role as G-Wing governer Karen Betts in ITV prison drama Bad Girls.

Last year, she also appeared in Hollyoaks' late-night raunchy spin-off In The City as businesswoman Stella.
