Glamourous Eva Longoria Parker and Teri Hatcher look really desperate as a grey-haired old lady and a tubby binge-eater in the latest episode of Desperate Housewives.

Eva’s character Gabrielle Solis stepped 20 years into the future in a dream sequence where she imagined herself as an interfering stage mum hell-bent on making her daughter a famous actress.

The wrinkly Gabrielle shuffled around in a dressing gown as she pleaded with a casting agent to give her reluctant daughter Celia a job.

Teri hid her perfect figure under a fat suit with a couple of extra chins in another fantasy sequence in the episode, screened in America on Sunday night.

Her character Susan considered how her life could have turned out if she had given cheating ex-husband Karl another chance.

And she wondered if she would have ended up piling on the pounds by comfort-eating to cope with Karl’s serial philandering.
