Eva Longoria seems to have ditched her no exercise, eat as much as you like regime that saw her put on half a stone and sparked an endless round of pregnancy rumours.

The actress's weight has been in sharp focus since she piled on the pounds to play a newly-dowdy incarnation of Gabielle Solis in Desperate Housewives.

But as she left Ken Paves salon in L.A., Eva appeared to have shed her extra padding and gained some luxurious locks.
