Justin Timberlake is set to star in US music sensation 'Glee', it has been reported.

According to reports, the 'Cry Me a River' singer is in talks to join as the younger brother of lead character Mr Schuester (Matthew Morrison).

'Glee' star Lea Michele who plays the prim Rachel is said to be a huge fan of the star and is delighted at the prospect of him joining the cast.

A source told Heat: "They are just trying to work it all out at the moment. The idea is that he will be a substitute teacher and join the 'Glee' club for one week."

Justin Timberlake is the latest star set to join the hit series after it was reported that 'Little Britain' star Matt Lucas will play the part of an English teacher.

Another potential pairing with the US show, which has seen an explosion in success, is Susan Boyle.

Glee actress Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) has previously announced that the cast and crew are "desperate" to sign up The Britain's Got Talent star for the part of a dinner lady.

Lynch told Heat: "Susan is really popular with all of us.

"I heard Ryan Murphy ['Glee's creator] say he'd love to get her on set playing a dinner lady, so let's hope."

It is also rumoured that British star Leona Lewis has landed a cameo role on the hit show, a rumour that has gained extra credibility after the 'Bleeding Love' singer surprised fans when Matthew Morrison joined her for a duet at a concert.
