Courteney Cox has admitted that the character she plays on new show, Cougar Town is her favourite yet.

The former Friends star plays recently divorced ‘cougar’ Jules Cobb on the show. She told Mercury News that she likes “playing this character more than any character I’ve ever played.”

She stated: “I don’t think I’ve ever starred in something where I really am in every scene. I hope this show is a huge hit and that people love it.

Lisa Kudrow is to be reunited with her former Friends co-star Courteney Cox.

The actress, who played ditzy blonde Phoebe Buffay in the hit US series, will guest star on Courteney’s new TV show Cougar Town early next year.

Cox, 45, told website TVMagazine.com: “She’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though she’s mean to me. She is the best in town and I get addicted.”

Cox, who plays a newly-single mother in her 40s in the programme, would also love to get her other friend Jennifer Aniston a guest spot.

She said: “She’s younger than me so she can’t play my contemporary even though she did on Friends, but I think we can find something great for her to play.”

The pair shared a steamy kiss when Aniston, 40, made a cameo on Cox’s tabloid drama Dirt in 2007.

The brunette beauty also revealed she asked Matthew Perry, who played her on-screen husband Chandler Bing in Friends, to play her love interest in Cougar Town.

Cox – who played cleaning obsessive Monica Geller – said: “I did ask Matthew if he’d play my boyfriend on the show. But he thought it was a little too much after Chandler and Monica.”
