Singer Demi Lovato is set to join Glee for a guest spot in the show's upcoming season, according to U.S. reports.

The X Factor judge will reportedly play Dani, a friend of Lea Michele's character, and one that would have significant interaction and several musical numbers together with Adam Lambert's incoming character, according to TVLine.com.

Reports suggest Lovato will appear in six episodes, beginning with the second part of the show's Beatles' tribute, airing 3 October (13).

The Glee gig marks the singer's the first acting role since her Disney Channel series Sonny with a Chance went off the air two years ago.
