Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross has started taking her five-month-old twins to work with her.

The 45-year-old actress - who plays up-tight red-head Bree Van De Kamp Hodge in the Wisteria Lane drama - said: "I had them come with me last week. I think if I have one full day [without them], then the next day they have to come with me because I can't not see them for that long."

Cross gave birth to daughters Savannah and Eden in February and filmed some of her season three scenes from her home while heavily pregnant with the pair.
