D'oh! Lena Dunham gets The Simpsons treatment but shockingly ends up in bed with Homer  

Marge may think this star is that type of girl after this - or at least have a few things to say about her.

Lena Dunham has revealed she is the latest of a string of celebrities to score a cameo on The Simpsons.

And not surprisingly, the 29-year-old is set to be a controversial addition to the long running cartoon when she appears this Sunday.

The Girls star revealed what she looks like as one of the bright yellow animated characters for the first time late Wednesday night.

While Simpson fans had been warned things were about to get rocky between the beloved couple Marge and Homer, for some the image of Homer in bed with another woman may come as a bit of a shock.

In the image, Lena's character - she will not be playing a stylised version of herself like some celebrities - is seen waking up and looking over her tattooed shoulder at a shock, and apparently naked, Homer.

Captioning the snap, the director said: 'Meanwhile I have the tremendous/horrendous fortune of waking up next to Homer this Sunday on The Simpsons #homewrecker #sexualhealing.'

In June, it had been revealed that Lena was set to guess star - as are a number of Girls actors - on Fox's iconic cartoon.

Touch times: Marge and Homer have legally separated when he falls for Lena's character

Lena is playing an edgy pharmacist who Homer falls for after his marriage with Marge hits the skids.

Series' executive producer Al Jean told Variety that the 27th season of the show television's golden - well yellow - couple are in deep trouble.

He told Variety: 'It's discovered after all the years Homer has narcolepsy - a chronic neurological disorder that affects the control of sleep, causing uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep, even during activities that demand attention - and it's an incredible strain on the marriage.

'Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist, who's voiced by Lena Dunham. We'll have cameos from the other women from Girls.'

While the thought of the long-time married pair calling it quits is shocking, this is no the first time Homer has been tempted to stray - or even the first time he has been tempted by a celebrity.

Back in 1992, the Simpson patriarch ran away to become a music manager to beautiful country singer Lurleen Lumpkin played by Beverly D'Angelo and then in 1993, he had eyes for his new coworker Mindy voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer.

Marge has come close to straying too with a bowling instructor Jacques Brunswick (voiced by Albert Brooks) encouraging her - unsuccessfully - to get back in the singles game in Season 1.

Most recently in 2013, the blue hair stunner accidentally found herself on the Springfield version of Ashley Madison and started an online chat affair with Ben (voiced by Seth MacFarlane).

Then, as no doubt it will now, love prevailed and Marge and Homer stayed together.

Lena is certainly having a big few days, on Thursday she revealed that she had interviewed presidential hopeful Hilary Clinton for her new website LennyLetter.com.

In a short clip released, Hilary tells Lena that she is 'absolutely' a feminist: 'I'm always a little bit puzzled when any woman of whatever age, but particularly a young woman, says something like, ''Well, I believe in equal rights but I'm not a feminist.'''

'Well, a feminist is by definition someone who believes in equal rights. I'm hoping that people will not be afraid to say, that doesn't mean you hate men, it doesn't you want to separate out the world, so you're not a part of ordinary life - that's not what it means at all! It just means that we believe that women have the same rights as men.'
