The Oscar winning actress will make her small screen return

Gwyneth Paltrow is set to get her Glee on for a second time, returning to the hit show, this time as a sex education teacher.

The Oscar winning actress will reprise her role as substitute teacher Holly Holiday for a further two episodes, and will heat up the hit show, not only leading sex education classes for McKinley High's teens, but as the new love interest of leading man Matthew Morrison, who plays teacher Will Schuester.

Show creator Ryan Murphy confirmed to Entertainment Weekly: 'Gwyneth is coming back for two episodes. She's coming back specifically to date Will (Matthew Morrison). Those two have become really good friends in real life and had really good chemistry.'

Paltrow made her mark on the musical show during her first round, singing Cee Lo Green's Forget You and Rihanna's Umbrella.

In other Glee news, Lady Gaga has allowed the show to use her brand new single, Born this Way, in an upcoming episode. A bona fide friend of the show, it has previously covered her hits, including Poker Face and Bad Romance.
