The show’s creator Silvio Horta revealed the 21-year-old actress – who has had a well-publicised battle with alcohol and drugs – was a “pleasure” to work with on the set of the show, which follows the life of Mode magazine assistant Betty Suarez.

He said: “Lindsay was terrific – a real pleasure. She came in early and was very pleasant. She plays a queen bee girl who Betty went to high school with.

“Her character Kimberly appears in a flashback dodge ball game when she does the picking – it doesn’t turn out well for Betty. They are going to run into each other in the present, when Kimberly’s life has taken a turn for the worst.”

Horta also confirmed Lindsay will return to the show for five episodes next season. Lindsay isn’t the only celebrity to have starred in the show alongside America Ferrera.

Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham appeared as magazine editor Wilhelmina Slater’s bridesmaid in an episode last year while supermodel Naomi Campbell also filmed a cameo recently.

Lindsay’s first appearance in the show will be broadcast in the US on May 22.
