    After Gwynnie’s hilarious cameo as substitute singer Holly Holiday, the cast just can’t wait to have her back

    Gwyneth Paltrow had audiences around the US in stitches when she stepped into the Glee spotlight, to play as substitute teacher Hollie Holiday, in an exciting two-episode-long episode. Now it’s been confirmed the star is set to return, and the show’s famous cast just can’t wait to have her back.

    Lovely Lea Michele – who plays Rachel Berry in the hit show – is particularly looking forward to having Gwynnie back, gushing about her in a recent interview.

    ‘Oh my God, that was so unbelievable. Half the time I was like... all that was processing in my head over and over again [was], "That's Gwyneth Paltrow. That's Gwyneth Paltrow". It's so unbelievable,’ she said of the star’s cameo in the show.

    ‘She came in and just blew the roof off this place. I'm telling you, no one has come in and has done what Gwyneth did.

    ‘She came in, totally not intimidated by anything and she went from doing Cee Lo to Chicago and just totally did it with ease and grace like she'd been here every day before that.

    And it seems thoughts all around the set are the same. ‘Gwyneth Paltrow is a genius. Who knew that she was such a triple threat?’ said Matthew Morrison of his duet with the star.

    'Great dancer, great singer, obviously a great actress – I just had the best time.’

    ‘I’m going to do one more, said the 38-year-old. ‘I signed up for two, so I’m excited.’ Gwyneth recently revealed.
