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.
there is nothing worse than a person who doesnt tip, especially if you have money imo
