Eva Longoria has told that she has been ‘in touch’ with her Desperate Housewives co-star Felicity Huffman who is currently serving a 14-day sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Californa.

The actress, 44, who became good friends with Felicity, 56, during their time on the ABC hit show that ran for eight seasons, shared that she has been in contact with the star at the Global Gift Gala held at the Kimpton Fitzroy Hotel in London on Thursday night.

When asked by Mirror Online if she had spoken to Felicity – who pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud in the recent college admissions scandal – Eva said: “I have been in touch with her.”

In response to being quizzed if she is sending her friend positivity, the star added: “yeah.”

During her time on the red carpet at the charity event which was to raise funds for the Global Gift Foundation which aims to improve the lives of women, children and families all around the globe, Eva also told that she would be keen for a reboot of Desperate Housewives as she “loves the show.”

She gushed: “I miss being Gabby – “I would do it in a heartbeat I love the show and I love all those characters and I love Wysteria lane.”

It comes after Eva proved she has a strong friendship with Felicity by openly throwing support behind her colleague and pal by penning a letter to the judge of Felicity’s case to support her character.

According to E! Eva wrote of how “There was a time I was being bullied at work by a co-worker. I dreaded the days I had to work with that person because it was pure torture. Until one day, Felicity told the bully ‘enough’ and it all stopped. Felicity could feel that I was riddled with anxiety even though I never complained or mentioned the abuse to anyone.”

Felicity’s charges stemmed from accusations she paid a $15,000 bribe to boost her daughter’s SAT score to get her into an elite college.

As well as her two weeks in jail, Huffman also got a $30,000 fine, 250 hours of community service and a year of supervised release.
