Jennifer Love Hewitt reportedly screamed when she saw the poor state of an extra's feet on the set of her new TV show.

The actress has been shooting The Client List recently, and her part requires her to get up-close-and-personal with some male co-stars. The star doesn't usually mind shooting love scenes as she knows they are make believe but found it hard when she had to inspect the unsavoury limbs.

"Jennifer plays a prostitute fronting as a masseuse in the series, and had a scene calling for her to wear lingerie while giving a full-on foot massage to a male client, played by a hunky actor," an insider told National Enquirer. "But when Jen eyeballed his badly-groomed feet, covered in scaly calluses, she let loose with a loud, Yeech!' and refused to touch them."

The 33-year-old star immediately decided something needed to be done to ensure she isn't confronted with anything so off-putting in the future. She spoke to show bosses and requested anyone involved with the programme gets a top-to-toe check from now on.
