Lohan to be a regular on 'Ugly Betty'?

Rex Features

Lindsay Lohan could become a regular in the next season of Ugly Betty.

The actress is in advanced talks to make a cameo appearance in the show's current season finale on May 22, according to TV Guide.

It was reported last November that Lohan had signed to play a fallen beauty queen who is forced to work at a fast food restaurant, but filming was put on hold due to the WGA strike. However, producers are now said to be keen for her to return for a "sizeable arc" of around eight episodes in the third season.

It is thought that ABC is hoping to repeat the success of Britney Spears's recent cameo on CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, which earned the show its highest ratings of the season.

Ugly Betty has seen ratings slide in the current run.
