Britney, 26, will play Abby, a receptionist at a dermatologist’s office who falls for architect Ted (Josh Radnor) when he comes in to have a tattoo removed.

“Doctor, are you all right? I heard a woman screaming!” Abby says. Seeing Ted, she giggles.

"The episode's about Ted, our main character. Ted went crazy one night earlier in this season and got an embarrassing butterfly stamped right above his ass. Not his proudest moment," says show creator Craig Thomas.

 

"So he's now in the predicament of having to remove this tattoo, so he goes to a dermatologist to remove it and gets a big crush on his dermatologist. What he's sort of oblivious to, as he’s pursuing this dermatologist, is that the dermatologist’s receptionist (Spears) is falling in love with him."

"It's a fun, romantic comedy episode," he added.

It is Britney Spears' first return to the small screen since a 2006 cameo on Will & Grace.
