Collins - Hoping for a part in Desperate Housewives

Former 'EastEnders' star Michelle Collins has said that she has auditioned for a part in 'Desperate Housewives'.

The actress, who played the role of Cindy Beale in the soap, revealed the news on BBC One's 'Breakfast'.

Collins said: "I've got an American visa now so I've spent quite a bit of time there."

"I went to a casting for Desperate Housewives, but I haven't got it yet," she said.

"As I've told people about it, they're amazed and have been telling me that someone like Cindy from 'EastEnders' would be great for that show. I have to remind them I’m not Cindy, I’m Michelle.

"I'm just doing what a lot of British actors are doing there at the moment - the 'LA thing'. I'd like to think there's been interest in me.

"But I'm a single parent so obviously that would be my biggest consideration before going for anything in America."
