Former Disney star Hilary Duff is set to make a TV comeback - after signing a deal to star in her own series.

The actress/singer, 21, first found fame in teen show Lizzie McGuire in 2003 - before moving onto successful music and movie careers.

Network executives at NBC announced on Friday that they've signed the actress to a new one-year deal.

In addition to her own show, Duff has also agreed to make guest appearances on other NBC programmes.

A network spokesperson says, "Hilary is an incredible versatile talent with a huge following whose career we know will continue to soar on NBC."
