EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DESPERATE SCOUSEWIVES STAR ELISSA

In December 2011 we announced that we had arranged an interview with Elissa  Corrigan from Desperate Scousewives, we don't like to disappoint so here it is! 

Q. How did you get to be on the show? 

A. Jaiden initially told me about the show, it was something I ever thought I'd do, but then when producers found out about mine and Joe's history, they wanted to make that a big storyline in the show.

Q.

 Who are you friendly and not friendly with on the show? 

A. 

I'm friendly with pretty much everybody on the show. We sometimes bicker with each other but it's never serious. I get on with Jaiden the best, but I also love all the girls, we stick up for each other. I argue with Joe the most but that's to be expected. 

Q. 

Any secrets you can reveal about the upcoming episodes? 

A. 

Nope, my lips are sealed, but there's a few twists and turns!  

Q. 

What is it like being on the show and gaining fame? 

A. 

I live being part of the show but I wouldn't say I've gained fame. I'm still the same girl, with the same worries and fears. I'm still doing my day job as a journalist, it will be a longtime before I'd give that up.

Q. 

What are your plans for the future? 

A. 

I want a magazine column, maybe about relationships and I'm working on a book.

Q. 

Have you had a favourite moment of the series so far?

A. 

I love my scenes with Jaiden. We have been friends for years so it's just so natural and we have a laugh together. 

Q. 

Who do you aspire to be like, if anyone? 

A. 

Kim Kardashian in the looks department. Jackie Collins in the career. 

Q. 

Do you have a bestfriend on the show?  

A. 

Jaiden 

Q. 

Are you in a relationship with anyone on the show? 

A. 

No 

Q. 

Do you see the cast outside of filming? 

A. 

Yes all the time  

Q. 

What exactly, if anything, is happening between you and Joe? 

A. 

Wait and see, I don't want to give the game away. 

Q. 

How did you get into journalism?

A. 

I'm a trained journalist!! I have a degree in English and History, I then did a degree in Journalism and gained all my journalism credentials including shorthand. I've worked for all the nationals and I still do. 

Q. 

Is there anyone on the show you really dislike working with? 

A. 

No. 

Q. 

Did you know any of the cast before the show, and have they changed since the show began? 

A. 

I knew a few of them but not very well. Nobody has changed much, we're all in the same boat. If anyone starts getting big headed and I'm sure the rest of us will deflate them!  

Q. 

Will there be a 2nd series of DSW? (We hope so!)

A. 

Hope so. 

Q. 

How do you feel about/anything to say to the 'haters' on twitter?

A. 

Really doesn't bother me, if they want to take the time out to tweet something nasty they obviously haven't got anything better to do. 

Q. 

Do you have any regrets about DSW? 

A. 

I swear too much! 

Q. 

What did you do for christmas and did you enjoy it? 

A. 

Yes, a quiet family christmas with my friends in Liverpool. My family were away this year. 

Q. 

On your twitter you describe yourself as a "Relentless self-publicist, fearless heroine, cat mother", would you explain exactly what you mean by this? 

A. 

I have two pussycats. I've got a voice and I don't mind expressing it. 

Q. 

Do you watch MIC or TOWIE and how do you feel about these 'rival' shows? 

A. 

I watch them both and I love them. 

Q. 

Do you have any hobbies or unusual talents?

A. 

I'm an avid reader, I love current affairs. I hate running but I've just signed up to do a marathon, because I'm determined and I live a challenge.  

Q. 

Anything you would like to say to our readers? 

A.
