Star Trek fans have been left delighted as it has been finally confirmed that Whoopi Goldberg is returning to the franchise as iconic barkeeper Guinan.
The 66-year-old EGOT winning actress is donning her supersized hat and preparing to fill up the drink glasses for season two of the Sir Patrick Stewart fronted series Star Trek Picard.
Whoopi became a favourite for fans of Star Trek The Next Generation when she joined the cast in 1988 as a recurring character who ran the bar on the Enterprise D.
