Rapper DMX will be reaching out for help once he is released from prison - the hip-hop star has signed up for the new series of reality TV show Celebrity Rehab.

DMX, real name Earl Simmons, is currently serving time at Tent City Jail in Arizona for drug possession, animal cruelty and theft. Simmons was sentenced to a total of 90 days prison, plus an additional 18 months of supervised probation for his various convictions, and is due to be released on April 30th.

And now the rapper has become the first star to sign up to the new season of the reality show, which has previously seen Brigitte Nielsen, Jeff Conaway and Steven Adler enrolled in a treatment program with Dr. Drew Pinsky.

The show will begin filming later this year.
