Rex Features

A reality television series will see Denise Richards "try to get her life back on track" after her divorce from Charlie Sheen, it has been confirmed.

The show is in production for E! Entertainment Television in the US and expected to air in the summer. It will see the star get used to living as a single mother.

Lisa Berger, original programming and development chief for E!, said: "At the core of this series is a resilient single mom who is trying to get her life back on track."

It will be produced by ex-American Idol host Ryan Seacrest with E!. The channel has also ordered a second series of Keeping Up With the Kardashians from Ryan Seacrest Productions.

Confirmation of the Richards series comes after a court ruled her children by Sheen could feature in a show.
