Kim Kardashian is said to have become hugely popular on the set of American Horror Story, according to an insider.

The reality star and fashion mogul, 42, will star in season 12 of the hit series. She recently underwent a major transformation when she appeared in a teaser for the new series, titled Delicate, alongside Cara Delevingne and Emma Roberts.

The insider even claims that producer Ryan Murphy has a long-term plan to mentor her as an actress. And a brilliant sign that Kim is smashing it in the world of acting is the fact that this has received zero complaints amongst the cast and crew.

A source told the Mirror: "There were a lot of groans and moans inside the crew when Kim became attached to this season of 'AHS' because the whole crew is very tightly knit and an outsider coming into that dynamic is greeted with a ton of skepticism.

"What's been a welcome surprise is how well Kim has fit in with the company and how focused Ryan Murphy has been on getting the best work he can out of her. It's created a somewhat unusual situation where Ryan is just on the set more than he has been on the last few seasons of the show, and he has emerged as a kind of mentor to Kim as she dips into the world of TV drama acting."

The source added that Ryan is treating Kim like a "bona fide acting discovery", touching on how she has "really managed to step up over the last two months".

"The good news is that Kim has proven herself to be a likeable person with a sense of humour, which is absolutely crucial to the whole vibe on the 'AHS' set - you have to be able to laugh at yourself in these ridiculous and extreme situations the show cooks up, and Kim has that ability every bit as much as Lady Gaga did," the source went on.

They then added that the plan is still for the show to roll out this autumn, which means Kim will be catapulting onto screens very soon. According to the source, "the ratings will be the biggest factor in deciding if she continues twitch the franchise the way so many other actors who have joined the ensemble have managed to do.

"But right now, with shooting nearing its end, the big surprise has been how well Kim has fit in and how easy it is for her to laugh at herself. This was not what people working on the show were expecting but it's been a huge surprise and a massive relief.

"This show is really only big enough for one diva, and that diva's name is Ryan Murphy."
