Nicole Richie could be following in the footsteps of Britney Spears following her cameo stint on sitcom Chuck.

The new mother impressed co-stars and bosses so much that they are considering signing her up as a regular.

The reality TV star began shooting her cameo in show last week - accompanied on set by baby daughter Harlow - playing the high school nemesis of regular character Sarah, played by Yvonne Strahovski.

And she is being tipped to return by sources on the show. An insider tells People: “It was fantastic. She was friendly. Everybody loved her. She has a great fight scene."

The episode will air in October.
