    Her show was originally set to make its return last month, but due to the writers' strikes Jennifer and her team postponed.

    Now that the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have arrived at a tentative agreement, Jennifer is making a comeback.

    Over the summer, the EGOT winner left fans in disbelief as she marked a fate-defining anniversary.

    She celebrated 20 years from the moment that kick-started her career as a singer, actress and talk show host; her American Idol audition.

    Jennifer was only 21 years old when she wowed judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson during the trials for season three of the long-running singing competition.

    To mark the moment, Jennifer posted a throwback video from her audition  during which she belted out her version of Aretha Franklin's 1970 song 'Share Your Love With Me'.

    The Chicago-native was praised for her "brilliant" rendition by Randy. Jennifer captioned the social media post: "It was on this very day in 2003 that my best friend @wallybean1 and I traveled all the way to Atlanta, Georgia for my American Idol audition!

    "20 years, y'all! Look at God!! I hopped on that American Idol roller coaster and it has been going ever since!"

    She concluded: "I've lived a lot of life since that day, but I'm still that same girl from the South Side of Chicago trying to get to my goals! Thank you all for being on this journey with me!"

    She may not have won the competition, which saw her eliminated and paved the way for winner Fantasia Barrino, but Jennifer still went on to launch a hugely successful career.

    During an appearance on many years later, Paula Abdul recalled a conversation she had with Jennifer at the time and said: "You know, I have a feeling some amazing things are going to happen to you. Remember, I said, 'Sometimes the people that need to win, win. And the people that don't need to win end up winning big-time.' And you did."
