"Ashley Madekwe has claimed that Mischa Barton is &amp;quot;really professional on set&amp;quot;. The Secret Diary actress, who starred alongside Barton in the now-dead CW series The Beautiful Life, said that she did not understand recent reports which suggested the former O.C. star was a &amp;#039;nightmare&amp;#039; to work with. &amp;quot;Working with Mischa was awesome! I really like her - she&amp;#039;s a really sweet girl and she&amp;#039;s really professional on set,&amp;quot; Madekwe exclusively told Digital Spy. &amp;quot;We had loads of fun because we played bitchy rivals, so it was always fun saying catty lines to each other.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t hear any reports that she&amp;#039;d been acting up. She definitely wasn&amp;#039;t - she was there on time every day and working hard like everybody else.&amp;quot; Discussing the axed series, she said that it was &amp;quot;a great idea&amp;quot; but suggested that &amp;quot;it wasn&amp;#039;t executed as well as it could have been&amp;quot;. Madekwe currently stars in Secret Diary of a Call Girl, which airs Mondays at 10pm on Showtime in the US and Thursdays at 10pm on ITV2 in the UK. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
