Becki Newton has revealed she hated the rubber dress she wore for Ugly Betty.

The 30-year-old actress plays Amanda, Mode magazine’s catty receptionist who will wear anything to look stylish, but confessed the rubber dress was an experience she didn’t enjoy.

Becki said: “It sounds amazing and sexy but it really wasn’t at all – I needed about 10 people to help get me into it and they had to actually purchase whatever strippers use to get their latex costume on and off.”

She added: “It was horrifying. I couldn’t take the dress off for 16 hours straight, so you can imagine how lovely that was at the end of the day!”

But Becki feels playing Amanda has changed her views on fashion.

She said: “I’ve developed an appreciation for more avant garde clothes.

“I prefer to be a little more comfortable in real life, but Amanda doesn’t care if she’s comfortable. She doesn’t understand what the word means, it’s irrelevant.”
