Actress Evangeline Lilly fell ill after her house became infested with mould - but was "too cheap" to move house.

(BANG) -

Actress Evangeline Lilly fell ill after her house became infested with mould.

The 'Lost' actress admits she could have avoided being poisoned but was "too cheap" to move.

She told US talk show host Jay Leno: "I bought a house last summer and ended up finding out it was completely mould infested.

"I was getting poisoned by the mould and therefore got very ill for four months, but I didn't move, even though I knew there was something wrong because I'm just really cheap.

"If I have to pay a mortgage and rent, I am not a happy person.

"Eventually my illness overrode my thriftiness so I moved."

The 28-year-old actress, who describes herself as a "miser", also revealed she hates tipping.

She added: I'm pretty cheap, for the first three seasons on 'Lost' I refused to valet park my car because I didn't want to tip.

"I had two roommates in a tiny little bungalow for seasons two and three because that meant my rent was only around $1,500 a month.

"They pay us alright on 'Lost' so that has nothing to do with necessity, it's just that I'm a miser!"

I guess I'm cheap too because I won't pay to have my car valet parked when I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself. Though, I'm not a celeb.

Not sure what she was thinking with the mold problem, that's just unsafe.

Who would anybody openly admit that they're cheap and a dirtball???

[cmmdee]

She seems like a douche.

I agree with her on the tipping thing, its just a waste of money to pay someone to drive your car and park it up a few yards away. But the mould in her house is weird, if she had spent a little bit extra and got her self a house inspector (or whatever they are called) they could have seen the problem BEFORE she bought the house now she is spending money to rid of the problem which is costing her even more in the long run.

I like her but some times i don't understand her...but her interview with Leno was funny last night.

Being thrifty is understandable. Dying from mold poisoning because you are a tightwad is a case of you get what you deserve.

[Mariesoleil]

Why is mold spelled "mould"? Is that another way of spelling it?

[TonjaLasagna]

Maybe she grew up dirt poor like Jewel........I could understand this type of behavious if she didn't have a decent home or lived in a car.

Otherwise she's just weird.

[LaFolie]

That's the British spelling

^ ITA. Just because you have the money doesnt mean you should just blow it on stupid things like having someone else park your car... so I dont have to walk as far.

Not sure what she was thinking with the mold problem, that's just unsafe.

I live in a place that often grows mold (the city is very humid & in general bi-polar weather of constant hot hot heat & freezing winds, etc) and people ALWAYS overreact to "mold". But one of the things I tell people is if you are continuously SICK - check for mold.

[H. Lecter]

I dont like her, but She is honest about her cheapness.... that, I LIKE... kudos for telling us she is not perfect.

I hate divas who pretend to walk on air...

Haha, yeah, what's wrong with having moulding in your house? Most fancy houses do!

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Eh, I dont see her saying that she hates to tip in general--just that she didnt want to do valet for the tipping. I agree with her there. All the casinos here have free parking but for some reason people will still valet and have to tip--I just dont see the big deal with walking to the elevator lol

The mold thing is just stupid but I'm sure she was playing it up for tv?

I'd rather a celeb be frugal than pretentious and spending money like it was nothing.

But the mold thing is taking it too far.
