Rihanna Moving to London for New Reality TV Show
Rihanna is reportedly moving to the U.K. for a few months where she will film scenes for her upcoming reality TV show.
The Bajan singer is teaming up with Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts for a new fashion design reality TV show, according to The Sun UK.
"Rihanna is coming back to Britain to shoot her Sky Living reality show and has decided to settle down a bit while she's over. Although there may be occasional trips away she'll be based in London," a source told The Sun.
"Since she started shooting the Sky program - a search for new fashion designers - she's got really into it and wants to commit fully. Rihanna loves England and the British sense of humor. She has been over to the U.K. a number of times and loves it more and more. She has looked at apartments and town houses between the Kensington and Earl's Court districts," the source added.
The 24-year-old will act as the executive producer of the new series, which seeks to discover a new fashion designer, and Roberts will search for hopefuls who want to break into the industry.
Rihanna will relocate to London from May to July and is currently scouting properties to establish a new home.
"Rihanna has instructed her team to find a mansion in or around the capital. Earlier this year she considered buying a property in east London but now she's looking elsewhere as she's decided the pad will need gates to keep away superfans and photographers," the source explained.
Contestants will be faced with a number of challenges and will be asked to create different looks for various celebrities over a 10-week period.
"I've always had a great love of fashion. It's a constant source of inspiration in my life, and is a big reason why I've grown into the person and artist I am today," Rihanna told MTV.
"I am excited to follow the journey of our aspiring contestants and see how their individuality influences their efforts during the course of the show," she added.
