The 51-year-old Reis, who is well-known for her stunning appearance, has became low profile since she got married to tycoon Julian Hui Chun-hang in 2008.

But sources told Headline Daily that she will join as a judge at this season's final, to be broadcast live at Kowloon Bay International Trade & Exhibition Center on Christmas Day.

It is understood that she is a fan of boy band Mirror – which was formed in the first season of the show, and wants to contribute in “unearthing” new entertainment talents.

Reis first rose to prominence after winning the Miss Hong Kong Pageant at the age of 18 in 1988.

During her entertainment career, she collaborated with megastars such as Leon Lai Ming, the late Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing and Stephen Chow Sing-chi.

But the last time she appeared in a TV show was already 2009 -- when she served as a judge in Miss Hong Kong Pageant competition.

In previous seasons of King Maker, actresses Vivan Chow Wai-man and Stephy Tang Lai-yan as well as singer Kay Tse On-kay have served as judges.
