Blake Lively 'poisoned Gossip cast against co-star'

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively has admitted that she "poisoned" her fellow castmates against co-star Penn Badgley.

The actress, who plays Serena Van Der Woodsen in the drama, told Glamour that she was "so upset" to learn that Badgley had been hired for the role of her on-screen boyfriend.

"At first I was so upset that they hired him. I actually poisoned the whole cast against him," she explained.

"But then they noticed that he was not a jerk and was actually a really nice, charming person. Almost immediately I realised that too, but it took me about a week to admit it."

Lively and Badgley, who are dating in real life, first met when the actress was just 11-years-old.
