The Netflix drama documents the rise of Selena Quintanilla, the music star who was murdered in March 1995, and she's admitted to being obsessed with the show.

The 'Wolves' hitmaker - who is one of the best-selling artists in the world today - said on her Instagram Story: "I have been binge-watching the Selena series on Netflix. It's so good. She's such an inspiration. I was named after her and it's unbelievable."

Selena has also recommended 'The Queen's Gambit' to her social media followers.

The Netflix drama stars Anya Taylor-Joy as an orphaned chess prodigy who seeks to become the best player in the world.

Selena, 28, revealed her TV recommendations shortly after 'Saved by the Bell's creative team removed controversial scenes referencing her kidney transplant from the show.

The rebooted version of the hit sitcom was widely criticised on social media after an episode featured two characters speculating about Selena's donor.

During episode six of the reboot, two of the show's stars argued over who actually donated a kidney to Selena.

One of the actresses said: "I know for a fact that Selena Gomez’s kidney donor was Justin Bieber‘s mom. God, I wish that I had my phone so that I could prove it."

In response, the other said: "Prove what? That you’re an idiot? It was Demi Lovato‘s kidney. They’re best friends, like you and I were."

During another scene, the words "Does Selena Gomez even have a kidney?" were seen written on the walls.

Selena underwent a transplant after being diagnosed with the autoimmune disease lupus.

The scenes prompted the hashtag #RespectSelenaGomez to start trending on Twitter, and Francia Raisa - Selena's actual donor - subsequently received an apology from the producers of 'Saved by the Bell'.
