US sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond may launch in Russia with a Cher lookalike in a lead role, it has been reported.

Local producers are said to be searching for an actress who bears an uncanny resemblance to the 'Believe' singer to portray the part of Ray's mother on the remake.

Doris Roberts, who played the character on the original version from 1996 to 2005, admitted that she couldn't "wait to see that", Contactmusic reports.

She said: "They thought the person to play my role should be something like Cher. I don't know what that's gonna be like and I can't wait to see that.

"They claim they're inviting the original cast to Russia for the premiere. I hope I can go and I'm gonna get a Cher wig."

Raymond star Ray Romano is reportedly returning to series television later this year.
