Actress Eva Longoria Parker shared some of her own marriage secrets as she helped settle warring couples’ domestic disputes on new TV series The Marriage Ref.

The Desperate Housewives beauty told how she “made” basketball star husband Tony Parker get a tattoo on his ring finger because he has to take off his wedding band on the court.

She also confessed she won’t let anyone use her formal dining and living rooms and told how Tony can’t change a lightbulb.

Eva also joked Tony has never seen her without makeup – and made a saucy gag about shaving for her man if he liked “bald” women.

She joined a celebrity panel with show creator Jerry Seinfeld and comedienne Tina Fey to argue the cases to Marriage Ref Tom Papa before he decided if the husband or wife was the winner.

One real-life couple was arguing about the husband removing his wedding ring to play basketball.

Eva said: “You can’t play basketball with the ring. If you are Tony and you dunk or something, you get caught and your finger can come off.

“When we first got married, it was a problem because he was like: ‘I can’t wear it.’

“Then he would forget it. So I made him get a tattoo.”

Eva still sided with the wife though, showing the value of wedding rings in keeping women away for your husband by pointing to her band and hissing like a snake.

And with her mother dressed in her revealing clothes, Juanita soon shifted them.

Workers flocked round as Gabrielle bent over, happy to take the cookies off her hands.

The episode also saw her hugging her pet Maltese Jinxy in between scenes.

The busy 34-year-old is set to make an appearance on new U.S. TV show The Marriage Ref, in which stars judge the lighthearted arguments of American couples.

The Desperate Housewives star has filmed a public service announcement (PSA), calling for U.S. citizens to give up their details for the upcoming survey.

She says, "Our participation in the 2010 census determines how funds will be used to support pre-schools, educational programs and build new schools.

"It will also support maternal and child healthcare as well as improve our highways, bridges and roads. Your participation in the census will help create job training programs and help improve emerging and disaster recovery services. The 2010 census - it's easy, it's important and it's safe."
