+++ Westlife Girl Jodi Loves Brothel Role +++

Westlife star Kian Egan has given the thumbs-up to girlfriend Jodi Albert's latest role as a prostitute in new five comedy Respectable. In the six-parter set in a brothel shown on Wednesdays, the ex-Hollyoaks actress, 23, plays hooker Hayley.

She says: "He's my toughest critic and he's blatantly honest. He'd have said if it was distasteful but he never stopped laughing when he saw it."

Jodi Albert was initially shocked when she saw the revealing outfits she had to wear as a prostitute in five new comedy Respectable. She says: "I was shocked when I got a call from the wardrobe department asking for my bra size and telling me I'd be wearing basques, French knickers and stockings for the role."

"But I got so used to the outfits that I used to have lunch in the canteen wearing a basque."
Ex-Hollyoaks star Jodi Albert has defended her new comedy Respectable, in which she plays a prostitute. She says: "It was good fun to film and it isn't seedy or dirty. The sauciest things in it are the outfits and there is some innuendo.
"It's very light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek. My character Hayley is quite a sweet person who lives in her own world. She is naïve but she is also adorable."

Jodi Albert's comedy Respectable was the final TV project of the late Harry Thompson, the brains behind Have I Got News For You. Thompson, original producer of the comic news quiz, who died aged 45 last year, was co-writer with Shaun Pye.
The show is set in the Debonnaire brother and also stars Cordelia Bugeja as student Kate and Justin Edwards as married man Michael who becomes smitten with Jodi's character Hayley.

While she hopes for a second series of Respectable, Jodi Albert is making a brief return to Hollyoaks this autumn. Jodi, who played singer Debbie Dean before she quit the soap in 2004, says:
"I'm filming two episodes in September – Debbie is a cruise singer and has become quite famous. But her return causes a stir as her sister Steph become insanely jealous. I'm looking forward to going back as I've goy a lot of pals there."

Respectable star Jodi Albert has snubbed the new run of I'™m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! as she's scared of jungle creepy-crawlies. She says: "I was approached to be in the next series but I don't spiders, so how would I cope?
I love the show and I liked Love Island but I don't think I'd ever appear on them." As for the future, Jodi will also be seen in new Britflick Popcorn with Eastender Jack Ryder.

She's been dating Westlife's Kian Egan for more than three years, but wedding bells aren't in the air for Jodi Albert. Jodi says: It's in the future but we aren't going to rush into anything just yet.
We've been friends for eight years and we live together a lot of the time in London. We're having a great time and I go on tour with Kian quite a lot but I also want to pursue my acting career.
