The creator of hit Netflix show Orange Is The New Black has revealed Katie Holmes almost landed the part of Piper Chapman in the series.

Jenji Kohan revealed at an event for the programme at the DGA in West Hollywood this week that she was a fan of the former Dawson's Creek actress and seriously considered her for the role, which eventually went to Taylor Schilling.

Speaking of Katie, E! Online quotes Kohan as saying: "You know, I met with her.

"She had other things to do. And also in the beginning, no-one knew what this was."

Schilling was also asked who she thinks Katie could be friends with if she bagged a part in the hit series, to which she replied: "I'm a big fan of Katie Holmes. She could be friends with Lorna (Yael Stone) or like Lorna's Boston sister."

Kate Mulgrew - who plays Red - added: "She better watch herself. Pretty girls have to watch out in that prison."

Holmes - who is said to be a fan of OITNB - previously joked that if she was ever on the show, she could finally show of her tattoos, before adding: "No, I don't have any tattoos. My child would kill me."
