The 25-year-old beauty – who stars as Agent 99 in the spy comedy – said she was suffering from itchy eyes when she filmed a particularly raunchy scene with her co-star Steve.

She said: “There was a health scare last year and a certain contact solution. I won’t say the name of it but it was the one that I use – gave you conjunctivitis. I also had a sinus infection at the same time. So I had to go up to Steve, my eye is red, puffy and dripping green – I’m snotty and I’m just like ‘Come here!’ ”

However, Anne revealed she was unaware she had pink eye – more commonly known as conjunctivitis – and was forced to ring the film’s producer Alex Gartner to warn him.

She added to Fox News: “I told Alex, ‘You might want to call Steve and let him know I had pink eye and my tears kind of got in my mouth, so he might want to worry about that!’ 

“But I’d do the kiss again in a heartbeat!”
