Talking about the current success she is enjoying in Nashville she says: 'I love playing the villain. She’s mean and nasty. It was wild for me and something I was really excited about. Because I had played an all American cheerleader for so long I knew it would be an uphill battle to be seen as any other kind of actor and then she came along.

Busy: It has been non stop for Hayden since she has been in the UK busy promoting her TV show

'But, I kept apologising to Connie Britton after every scene saying, ‘I am so sorry, I didn’t mean it,’ and she said, ‘Of course not, it’s acting.’ Now we have got to know each other we have a lot of fun pushing each others buttons and we really go for it.'

Hayden also opened up about her country singing career, she shares: 'I love Nashville. I love country music and this has been an amazing experience, an open door to me.” On having a single in the Billboard charts she says, “It’s absolutely shocking, I don’t know how it happened, but it’s amazing music on the show – hats off to T-Bone (Burnett).'

Sorry folks! But I was not impressed with Hayden on the Graham Norton show. She either never slept night before, or had too many pre show drinks. She was decidedly dopey and vague for most of the show and only seemed to wake up a bit at the end.

I am interested as to why the DM felt it necessary to say shed' taken her red bra off for the show though talk about creepy reporting! - Snoodles , WALES, United Kingdom, 07/6/2013 21:57------------------------------------Because she kept going on about breasts and that she wasn't wearing bra because she was in Europe, whatever that means.
