    Pixie Lott was starstruck by Eva Longoria

    The 34-year-old singer can next be seen as Mary Cratchit in festive musical Christmas Karma and while she didn't share any scenes with the Desperate Housewives actress - who portrays the Ghost of Christmas Past - they briefly crossed paths on set and the Mama Do hitmaker was in awe of the "stunning" star.


    Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the world premiere of Christmas Karma on Wednesday (12.11.25) at the Curzon Mayfair cinema in London, she said: "Eva and I didn't have any scenes together, but I did see her one of the days when she was heading to make-up to film something else, and she was absolutely stunning - without a stitch of make-up, just so beautiful."

    The movie, a Bollywood musical take on Charles' Dickens classic festive tale A Christmas Carol, features a star-studded cast including Hugh Bonneville, Kunal Nayyar, Leo Suter, Billy Porter and Boy George, but Pixie didn't get to meet everyone involved until long after filming had wrapped.

    She said: "I loved being part of such a variety of cast members. I didn't actually get to work with everyone, because I'm not in scenes with all of them. For instance, yesterday on The One Show was the first time I met one of them - Hugh Bonneville - I'm not in any of his scenes, so we were never on set together.

    "But he's an absolute delight, obviously, and I can't wait to see his parts in the film because I haven't seen those yet.

    "Most of my scenes are with Leo and he was great to work with. Kunal is obviously incredible, and Billy Porter I - absolutely loved working with him and just watching him do his thing.

    "They're all so talented".

    Fresh from wrapping Christmas Karma, Pixie is already keen to dive into more acting roles. She's even finished filming her next movie, set for release in 2026, a project that is "quite different" from the festive story.

    She said: "I'd definitely love to do more acting projects. I actually shot another film this year that'll be out next year - more of a thriller, so it's quite different to Christmas Karma.

    " And no, I don't get murdered in this one - I get chased by a murderer, but he doesn't get me! Oh no, I've spoiled it now!

    "But it's fun to do different projects.

    "I feel like I'm learning with every single one; every character is completely different. I love stepping outside of music and doing that."

    Christmas Karma, which is directed by Bend It Like Beckham filmmaker Gurinder Chadha, is released on 14 November.
