Cheryl Cole's Glee cameo confirmed?

Cheryl Cole's long-rumoured appearance on Glee has apparently been confirmed by Jane Lynch.

The 51-year-old actress - who stars as hilarious cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester in the hit US show - has revealed Matthew Morrison spoke to the Call My Name singer when they worked together on movie What To Expect When She's Expecting, and the Daily Star reports the cameo is now going ahead.

Jane reportedly said: "There's been talk on set of Cheryl appearing for a year or so, but it's set to happen now. Matthew's spoken very highly of her and the younger guys on set are keen to have her on, for obvious reasons.

"Matthew's chatted to her and she seems keen.

"Cheryl's the perfect Glee fit, she can sing, she can dance and she looks good. It would be cool if she played herself."

Jane added: "She might be used to getting treated like a princess but Sue Sylvester doesn't make exceptions for anybody. If Cheryl starts acting like a diva, she'll see that Sue is meaner than Simon Cowell."

Britney Spears and Ricky Martin are among the singers to have previously appeared on the show. Creator Ryan Murphy is said to be a fan of Cheryl's and producers are keen to get her on.

Matthew, 33, who plays teacher Will Shuester, is quoted as saying: "Cheryl is a beautiful woman, America is starting to really know her.

"A lot of stars want to appear on Glee and actually ask the show.

"So the fact producers want Cheryl says a lot about what they think of her talent."
