Laila Rouass says she would have nothing to do with co-star Zoe Lucker if they weren't forced to work together.

The 'Footballer's Wives' beauty, who plays super-bitch Amber Gates in the hit TV series, has admitted she doesn't get on with her rival star and their off-screen lives never cross.

She said: "I don't feel competitive with Zoe. Would we be friends if we met outside the series? I don't know.

"We're different people. There's always competitiveness at work, but that's healthy and I try to use it positively."

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old actress has confessed she was bullied at school.

The sexy star, who has been single since splitting from her boyfriend of two years, has revealed she was picked on throughout her childhood because of her good looks and skin colour.

She said: "I got a lot of male attention, which I think had something to do with the bullying. There was a certain amount of racism, too, at school.

Kids will always find something to pick on, whether it's your colour, your religion, the way you look, your size. You try and stand up for yourself, but it's really difficult when you've got 20 or 30 girls against you."
