Ugly Betty co-star: 'LiLo's no diva!'
 

Becki Newton has dismissed rumours that Lindsay Lohan was a diva when she worked in the new series of Ugly Betty.

Lindsay, now arguably more famous for her party lifestyle than her acting, appears in the first episode of series three, which launches on Channel 4 on Wednesday, June 24.

Becki, 30, who plays the role of Amanda Tanen in the hit US sitcom, told theinsider.com: "She was lovely. When you watch this season she was great at her part. It was a fun storyline and I think people are gonna really enjoy it."

Becki also added that it would be 'amazing' if Britain's Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle appeared in an episode of the show.

"I think she'd be amazing," she said, adding: "I think Ugly Betty taps into pop culture so that these random characters become perfect for the show somehow."

She went on: "It might be a bit strange to have Susan Boyle on Ugly Betty, but they [the writers] have got such a great way of incorporating these people in a way that makes it really funny."

"I don't know what they would be, but I can imagine they have a lot of ideas."
