Sofie Gråbøl has reportedly signed up to star in the revival of Absolutely Fabulous.

Last week, the BBC confirmed that the classic comedy will be returning to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary.

Gråbøl has now agreed to appear in the three specials, The Sun claims.

The Danish actress is best known in the UK for her role as Sarah Lund in the original version of The Killing. Details of her part in Absolutely Fabulous have not yet been revealed.

Original Absolutely Fabulous cast members Joanna Lumley, Jennifer Saunders, Julia Sawalha, June Whitfield and Jane Horrocks have all signed up to return for the new specials.

Speaking about the revival earlier this year, Lumley admitted that the cast "are all ecstatic about" the show's return.

Meanwhile, when the news was confirmed by the BBC, Saunders admitted that it was "as if nothing had changed" when the cast reunited.

She joked: "Like a good bottle of champagne, we hope that we have got better with time without losing any of our sparkle."
