Breakfast TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has signed up to appear in an episode of the BBC One Scotland drama, River City.
Scripts are still being finalised but at this early stage, it is known that she is to play herself whom, in the soap, is a friend of 'Moda Vida' hair salon manager Billy Davis (Gray O'Brien).
Of her guest appearance, Lorraine said: "I am beyond excitement at appearing in River City! I love the show and always watch it at home in Scotland and when I am working in London.
"It is so well written and acted and has fantastic dramatic storylines as well as a deft way with comedy.
"I am playing myself so it shouldn't be too much of an acting challenge and I know the cast and crew will help me."
Executive Producer Sandra MacIver added: "We are thrilled to have Lorraine on board and look forward to seeing her in April for filming."
