Cheryl Cole tipped to make cameo appearance on Glee

Cheryl Cole celebrated her 29th birthday in Las Vegas over the weekend

Cheryl Cole is being lined up to appear in American musical series Glee.

The show's star Jane Lynch - who plays cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester - says producers think Cheryl's the 'perfect fit' for the programme and have been keen to get her on board for a while.

'There's been talk on set of Cheryl appearing for a year or so, but it's set to happen now,' says Jane, 51.

'Matthew [Morrison]'s spoken very highly of her and the younger guys on set are keen to have her on, for obvious reasons.'

Cheryl, 29, made her acting debut earlier this year when she played a talent role judge in comedy film What To Expect When You're Expecting.

But if she agrees to appear on Glee, she won't be getting an easy ride from Jane's character - who's the programme's main antagonist.

'She might be used to getting treated like a princess but Sue Sylvester doesn't make exceptions for anybody,' Jane tells the Daily Star.

'If Cheryl starts acting like a diva, she'll see that Sue is meaner than Simon Cowell.'
