Nicollette Sheridan has recently signed on to promote the products of the lingerie company Hestia in Australia.

The British-born actress visited Sydney at the end of September and shot a TV commercial. Sheridan has also breezed her way through Melbourne yesterday and told reporters she enjoyed the time spent in Australia.

"The campaign has been brilliant.
The Hestia family has been wonderful since I've arrived, we've had a lot of laughs", the actress confessed.

"It's great being Hestia ambassador, with all these simply gorgeous Aussie housewives.", Sheridan added.

The Desperate Housewives star is said to be linked to Australia through her ex-partner Simon Main.

Sheridan had to deal with some difficult questions about Main, who had spent four years in an Italian jail for his part in one of the world's biggest ecstasy hauls.

"He was once part of her life, and now they are just friends," one source said. "She would never desert a friend."
