The troubled singer will reprise her role as geeky receptionist Abby in the CBS sitcom - a character described as “sweet, friendly, scattered and a little nerdy” - after her successful guest appearance on the show last month.
Craig Thomas, executive producer and co-creator of the show, confirmed: “We're all so thrilled to have Britney joining us once again. And just to head it off at the pass this time around, ‘Yes, mom, Britney's very nice and no, I can't get her autograph for you.’ ”
Production on the episode – which sees Abby and Barney, played by Neil Patrick Harris, start a relationship to annoy the show’s main character Ted, played by Josh Radnor - began yesterday (28.04.08).
Following Britney’s appearance on the show on March 24 – which earned the sitcom its highest ratings in the 18 to 49 age group since it first aired in 2005 – Harris revealed he hoped the 26-year-old ‘Toxic’ star would reprise her role.
He said: “Britney did a great job on the show. She really did. In fact, we are all hoping that she returns rather soon to reprise her role as Abby.”
Pierce Brosnan is 'outrageously' kissable! Legendry actor Pierce Brosnan may not be attached to the 'James Bond' film series anymore, but he is still considered to be one of the most kissable men in Hollywood.
