Grease star Olivia Newton-John is set to get physical in Glee.
She's going to star in one of the later episodes of the hit US series and will sing a duet with ruthless cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, played by Jane Lynch. They'll perform Olivia's 1981 hit "Let's Get Physical."

Jane said: "I'm so excited I can't see straight! Olivia provided the soundtrack for my tortured adolescence. Her charitable work and commitment to making others' lives and the life of the planet better is so inspiring."

In the US, the hugely popular series is currently having a break after showing the first 13 episodes of season one and will return for the second-half of the season - nine new episodes - in April.

It's already been announced that Glee, which started this week on E4, is getting a second series.
