"Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria says receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was a "surreal feeling".

The 43-year-old actor said she was "overwhelmed" to be bestowed with the honour in the presence of her co-star Felicity Huffman, friends Victoria Beckham, Anna Faris and Ricky Martin.

"Oh my god, it was really surreal today. I meant it when I said, 20 years ago, standing almost at this spot saying, 'I'm gonna have a star one day,' and then, for it to happen, was really surreal.

"And then, of course, Felicity's speech and Ricky, and Anna... It's just overwhelming. I'm overwhelmed," Longoria, who received the 2,634th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, told ET.

The actor, who is expecting her first child with husband Jose Antonio Baston, said her baby is her "most important project" yet.

"Yes, the most important project's yet to come! It's been amazing and I feel really honoured and blessed that all of this is happening. I feel like, there's always something coming up that I have to do - I have to work. But this - 2018 - has been really, really special.

"I'll be taking a break after this. This is my last official work of duty and then just waiting, waiting for the baby," she said.

Melanie Griffith and William H Macy were among other stars who also attended the ceremony.
