Ugly Betty star America Ferrera says ’sleep’ is a big priority when she finishes filming the end of the series.

Ferrera, 25, has played the lead role in the show for the past four seasons and is currently filming her final scenes as the show comes to a close.

Ferrera spoke about her future after Betty at the premiere of new movie Our Family Wedding.

She said: “Sleep. I have this and then How To Train Your Dragon, which is an animated film that I did coming out in two weeks after this film.

“There are a lot of things that I’m very excited to do, none that I can really talk about.”

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera has admitted she is not a “fashionista” and hates shopping.

America, 25, plays plain-looking Betty Suarez, who works for a fashion magazine, in the hit US sitcom.

“I’m [the] antithesis of a shopaholic. I’m afraid of shopping. I don’t like to shop, I don’t like being in stores,” she said.

“I’ve never enjoyed shopping since I was young. I like nice clothes, but I’m not a fashionista.”

Like her character Betty, America admitted she isn’t a fan of designer labels and wears whatever she feels comfortable in. “I just wear whatever fits me and what I feel good in,” she said.

She added: “My mum still buys me clothes sometimes. I like feeling pretty and wearing heels, but it’s not something I do on a daily basis.

“I don’t walk out the door and ask myself, ‘Am I wearing the most updated version of my Manolo Blahniks?”

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera has hit back at claims she has given in to pressure to lose weight. The curvaceous star of the hit comedy has lost 20 pounds in recent weeks, prompting criticism from those who hailed her a role model for normal-sized women. Being a size 10 or 12 does not make her a poster child for the Nicole Richie waif club.. She is beautiful, shapely and if losing 20 pounds becuz of work and it makes her feel healthier than …you go girl….still a role model. People are going to way their tongues what ever girls in the entertainment industry do. Some a so skinny what it would look like they would faint any moment and other are just normal living a happy healthy life but we still like to stick our nose in their lives. If she likes to gain weight then so be it and even if it is vice-versa then too it’s cool, as long as she feels fit. Live and let live, you guys look at your self first.
