According to one of the show's producers, Al Jean, Justin Bieber tries to enter the contest but is not allowed.
The star's guest appearance is expected to go out towards the end of 2013 as part of the 24th series.
On Tuesday (21 August), the 19-year-old reportedly tweeted about finishing his voice-over but the post has since been deleted.
Executive producer Al Jean told Entertainment Weekly: "It's a cameo... but all of his fans should watch every minute of the show, before and after he's on."

Inviting famous faces to guest star in the show is long established and has seen animated versions of the likes of Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand, Lady Gaga and Professor Stephen Hawking.
