The Speed Racer star appeared as a guest on 'Jimmy Kimmell Live!' and revealed she used to ask her housekeeper to clean her house three times a week.

Ricci, 28, said: "I am a clean freak. I used to ask my housekeeper to come to my house three times a week."

The star said that she realised she was being outrageous, even though she couldn't stand all the hair from her dog getting everywhere, and cut back on her cleaner's hours.

She said: "I had to cut back on my housekeeper to once a week, even though the dog hairs were driving me crazy."

Ricci then revealed that she was going to get herself a robotic hoover, a 'Roomba', to do all the hard work for her, and clean up after her dogs.

She said: "Because I cut back on my housekeeper I've had to get a Roomba. The mess was driving me crazy."

Ricci achieved worldwide fame for her role as Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family in 1991.

Her roles have ranged from at house films, like The Ice Storm to blockbusters such as Sleepy Hollow (1999).
