Britney Spears is glad to be back on TV.

"Working at How I Met Your Mother has been so terrific," Spears said in a statement obtained by Entertainment Tonight.

The singer is scheduled to play Abby, a dorky receptionist, on the March 24 episode.

"Everyone, including the cast, the crew and the producers, has been wonderful and Abby is such a fun girl to play," Spears said. "I'm having a blast!"

She filmed scenes yesterday in L.A. Her mom Lynne was spotted visiting her trailer.

"Britney’s not playing a version of herself," Mother creator Craig Thomas tells Us. "I think that’s part of what appealed to her."

He said she agreed to the part just one day after reading the script.

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