Kaley Cuoco has claimed that an A-lister had not seemed pleased to see her when she arrived on the set of a popular TV show around 20 years ago.

The star sat down on Dax Shepard's podcast, where she opened up about an alleged incident when she joined the cast of Charmed.

Cuoco joined the show back in 2005, but said that while one person was very welcoming, another wasn't quite as warm when she arrived.

Charmed follows a trio of sisters who are extremely powerful good witches who use their 'power of three' to protect people from evil.

The sisters were played by Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, and Shannen Doherty in the first three seasons, with Rose McGowan joining the cast in season four.

Cuoco would join the cast for in the eighth and final season, and recalled being 'terrified' when she arrived on set.

Speaking on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, she said: “You know when you do so many things and you just forget about terrible moments?

“Imagine this: I’ve never met anyone. It’s their gallery shoot.”

Explaining what happened next, she said: “I’m the new girl. You’ve got Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs. I’ve never met them. Think about that. I’m joining their family photo, and I’m 21.”

Cuoco said she had been feeling extremely nervous as she had been joining the show at a late stage.

She said: “I walk in that gallery, and I am so freaking nervous.

“It’s on their lunch break. They’re all in the corners, eating.”

Cuoco told the podcast, which was published on YouTube, that when she arrived, one star had greeted her warmly: “I walk in. Alyssa Milano sees me, and - I will always tell this story about her - she got up, ran over to me and welcomed me to the show, gave me the biggest hug in the world, so happy, so kind. I will never forget that.”

But Cuoco said that not everyone reacted that way, saying: “Rose [was] maybe not as happy. I don’t know.

“I still don’t know if she likes me. I don’t know. But Alyssa was amazing. I was terrified. It’s a weird thing coming into a show with them in year eight, and I only did the one season.”

Charmed first broadcast in 1998, with Cuoco joining the cast in 2005, who she took on the role of Billie Jenkins.

UNILAD has approached representatives of Rose McGowan for comment.
