Rex Features

Britney Spears is to make a guest appearance on US sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

A CBS spokesperson confirmed that the singer will star on an upcoming episode of the show, which airs on primetime TV.

Although no further details are known, Reuters reports that the episode is likely to be recorded this week and air on March 24.

A source suggested Spears will play a doctor's office employee who falls for the main character Ted (Josh Radnor).

Spears's dad Jamie, who currently acts as co-conservator of his daughter's estate, is believed to have signed off on the project.

The show centres around Ted's attempts to find his soulmate after his best friend Marshall (Jason Segel) announces plans to propose to his girlfriend Lily (Alyson Hannigan). It also stars Neil Patrick Harris and Cobie Smulders.

Spears's last small-screen appearance was on US comedy Will & Grace in 2006.
