Gossip Girl star Blake Lively was saved from a night on the streets after a pair of journalists offered her their room at a Miami, Florida hotel over the Super Bowl weekend.

The 22 year old actress turned up to the hotel where her co-stars Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick were staying, only to find the venue was at full capacity due to Sunday’s Super Bowl play-off between American Football giants the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts.

After trawling several other establishments in a bid to locate a spare room, Lively faced the prospect of flying home, until two female reporters from the Daily Mirror newspaper spotted the star and handed over the key to their room.

And Lively was stunned by their generosity, reportedly telling the journalists, “I just wanted to come out here so badly as Super Bowl is so much fun. I just couldn’t miss it, the atmosphere is amazing. Now I’m excited, thank you. I’ve only just flown in from New Orleans and I thought I’d just turn up and get somewhere where my friends are staying but everything is gone. I seriously thought I’d have to turn around and go home.”

According to the gossip columnists, Lively handed over her VIP pass to the DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl game in exchange for the room.
