Singapore - From an article in xin.msn, MediaCorp’s most versatile female actress fixes conjugal routines on the set of Mrs P.I. and falls terribly ill. As if playing an auntie detective wasn't big enough a challenge, think 7 a.m. call times, 18-hour long shifts, falling sick on the job and no sex life.

Host and actress Michelle Chong experienced all that with her brand new Channel 8, Mrs P.I, in which she plays a disciplined ex-cop-turned-detective, who interestingly enough, sets conjugal routines with her on-screen husband (played by Zheng Ge Ping).

Mrs P.I is Michelle's first Chanel 8 show after Like Father, Like Daughter three years ago. In between, Michelle has been hamming it up in her multiple roles in Channel 5's The Noose and her hosting stint on One Moment of Glory.

In an exclusive interview with xinmsn, the bilingual actress revealed that sex was fixed on "every Saturday" in her new drama, as her reel character preferred everything to have a system. So does Michelle have such a routine in real life when it comes to the bedroom as well?
"I have no sex life!" she exclaimed.
