Oprah Winfrey will appear on a forthcoming episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

The television megastar recently interviewed a number of members of the Los Angeles-based family - including Kim, Khoe and Kourtney and their mother Kris Jenner - and it has been confirmed she will now be seen in a forthcoming instalment of the E! network show.

Kim revealed on the two-part special Oprah's Next Chapter special on her OWN network she was close to her boyfriend Kanye West because they could both relate to losing a parent at a young age: "It's very comforting to have someone that knows everything about you, that respects you, understands, has gone through the similar things. I can really relate to his mother passing. He can really relate to my father passing. I mean, there's so many similarities in our life that ... I feel like I'm at a really happy, good space."
