The star will be stepping into the shoes of US chat show host Ellen Degeneres, who quit the hit show after just one season, telling bosses the job ‘didn’t feel like the right fit,’ for her.

But then talk emerged that Jen had made one diva demand too many – she reportedly wanted film and TV deals from FOX alongside the American Idol contract - and bosses had ruled her out of the running.
Now it seems La Lopez is back in favour, and is set to take up a place on the show.
‘She’s very excited,’ a source close to the star told People of the final deal.
