Demi Lovato is set to star in the NBC comedy ‘Hungry’. The 28-year-old singer will also serve as an executive producer on the single-camera comedy show. The project is being written by ‘Hot in Cleveland’ creator Suzanne Martin, and will tell the story of a group of friends who belong to a food issues group, according to People. In the show, the friendship group try to help each other as they search for love and happiness. Demi will executive produce the comedy alongside Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills, as well as Scooter Braun, James Shin and Scott Manson of SB Projects. Demi – who previously starred in the hit sitcom ‘Will & Grace’ – has been open about her own eating disorder battle in the past, admitting that it led her to overdose in 2018. Speaking to model Ashley Graham on her podcast, Demi shared: “When you have certain people around you that are telling you certain things, that you should look a certain way, it makes it harder. “So I was in that situation – I was just running myself into the ground, and I honestly think that’s kind of what led to everything happening over the past year.” The ‘Cool for the Summer’ hitmaker – who was rushed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering an overdose – admitted to living a “lie” before her health scare. Demi revealed she was trying to convince her fans that she was happy when she really wasn’t. She said: “It was just me thinking I found recovery when I didn’t and then living this kind of lie, and trying to tell the world that I was happy with myself when I really wasn’t.”
