Do you have the ‘Rio’ factor?

In one of my favourite revelations in a long time, Rio Ferdinand is planning a ‘hip hop idol’ reality tv show, according to nme.com.

The show will see celebrity contestants cover hip-hop classics to a panel of judges (Rio wants Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson) in aid of anti-gun crime charities.

His last outing into TV world saw the ‘merking’ of several of his England teammates back in 2006, and made him somewhat of a cult hero, so I can only hope this show goes ahead and the genius of the ever-eloquent Rio Ferdinand can once again grace our screens.
