Ugly Betty will be touched by an angel - a Victoria's Secret Angel, that is.

Supermodel Adriana Lima has snagged a guest spot on an upcoming episode of Ugly Betty, People reports.

The 27-year-old beauty will play herself, but will get to show off her acting chops. In the episode, Lima models for Mode's "sizzling hot issue" and gives Betty (America Ferrera) the scoop on the secret to her sexiness - consuming the fictional exotic fruit "tico berry."

Lima films her episode next week. This will be the Brazilian's second primetime appearance - she made a cameo as herself on How I Met Your Mother last season.

Season 3 of Ugly Betty premieres Sept. 25 at 8pm/ET on ABC. - Joyce Eng
