A first look at Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna's TV return in American Horror Stories season 3 has been unveiled.

The actress and reality star's involvement in the spin-off show was confirmed back in June following her exit from Real Housewives.

A trailer for the four-part season of the FX and Hulu anthology show has now been released ahead of its premiere later this month, as we get a first glimpse of her modelling agent character in the episode 'Tapeworm'.

"Smize for the camera, sweetie," she tells her client, and when the model says there is a "monster inside of me", Rinna's character questions whether she is "hungry".

Rinna announced her departure from Real Housewives back in January after eight years on the show, saying at the time: "This is the longest job I have held in my 35-year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series.

Her husband Harry Hamlin later said it was the "correct decision, the right decision to make at this point after eight years. I think she took it as far as she could take it, and she elevated the show.

"Now it's time to move on. Eight years is a long time to do anything, the same thing over and over again. It's time to move along," he added.

Meanwhile, the main series of American Horror Story is currently in its 12th season, subtitled Delicate, which is starring Kim Kardashian.

American Horror Stories will return for season 3 on October 26 on FX on Hulu in the US.
