Evangeline Lilly's Lost Family  5/11/06

Hollywood beauty Evangeline Lilly loves working on hit TV show Lost because her co-stars have become like a family to her.

The Canadian actress, who plays striking Kate Austen on the show, is currently dating co-star Dominic Monaghan.

But she is also very close to the rest of the cast and greatly enjoys the bond they share as a group outside work.

Lilly says, "Each week we gather round someone's house - the host will be the person whose episode is airing that night.

"The host provides the food and we all sit down to have dinner and watch the show. Then people hang around for drinks.

"When I hosted one of the parties I cooked for twenty-four hours. I made a slap-up six-course meal - I didn't sleep!"
