Amanda Bynes has a back-up career planned if Hollywood turns its back on her - she'll turn her hand to designing clothes full-time.

The Hairspray star admits she's had a passion for creating clothing since she was young.

And the twenty-two-year-old is now fulfilling her life-long ambition with her clothing line Dear by Amanda Bynes for budget fashion retailer Steve and Barry's.

She says, "I have notebooks with tons of sketches I've been doing since I was a kid.'

"If I wasn't an actress, I would've gone into fashion, but I'm always going to be a performer first."
