(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Felicity Huffman has revealed she sleeps between takes.

The 48-year-old actress is best known for playing Lynette Scavo in the hit ABC television show Desperate Housewives, which has earned her an Emmy Award.

Lynette a mother-of-five - is the only one of the four main characters not to go through a divorce; however the end of season seven sees Lynette and her husband Tom splitting up.

Felicity says it would be sad to see the relationship end for good, although it would give them a bit of a break as they've resorted to falling asleep between takes.

"Whether they break up or not depends on whether this is our last year. It would be sad though I love Doug Savant [who plays Tom], but now we're so old we go and fall asleep on the couch between takes!" she laughed in an interview with Closer.

Felicity insists she doesn't have any plans to leave the show, as she believes Desperate Housewives is one of the best roles to land on television. The blonde beauty has blamed her husband William H. Macy for gossiping about her future on the series.

"My husband Bill has been spreading rumours, saying I was leaving! Was he drunk? Actually, it hasn't been decided we're all signed up for another two years, but it depends on the ratings," she explained. "It's the job of a lifetime and I love the work, but it depends on how we do maybe we'll just go another year." (C) Cover Media
