EVA LONGORIA
Taking TV viewers on a culinary tour of Mexico, the actress recalls childhood memories – and, with her husband, re-creates their first date
She
may be best known for her on-screen characters, including feisty Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives, but viewers are seeing a new side to Eva Longoria Bastón as the actress takes on her most personal TV project yet.
Away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood, the Mexican-American star, 48, enjoys a trip down memory lane as she embarks on the food tour of a lifetime around Mexico, which includes revisiting the scene of one of her first dates with her now-husband José “Pepe” Bastón.
“Is there a better place to fall in love with your husband?” asks Eva of the country’s capital, Mexico City, in Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico, which airs on BBC2 this month.
