Fantasia Lands Reality Tv Show

AMERICAN IDOL champ FANTASIA BARRINO is returning to the small screen - she's landed her own reality TV show.

Barrino - who won the singing competition in 2004 - has signed a deal to star in an unscripted series for VH1, set to air next year (10).

The 24-year-old, who previously starred in a TV movie based on her autobiography Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, will chronicle her life as a recording artist and single mum to seven-year-old daughter, Zion, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Executive producer Randy Barbato says, "Fantasia's life has been an open book, but at 24 years old, her story has just begun. We look forward to smashing expectations and revealing the fresh, funny and unexpected side of this one-of-a-kind country girl and superstar."

The show's title has yet to be determined.
