Rihanna and Nicola Roberts team up for fashion TV show

Rihanna is to produce and appear on a new fashion show on TV channel Sky Living.

And she will be joined by Nicola Roberts on the show as it looks at the British fashion scene.

The premise behind the programme, which is due to air in summer 2012, will be to ask rising fashion designers to come up with outfits for celebrities and music stars.

After ten weeks, the eventual winner will get to design the outfit for Rihanna's headline performance at the Wireless event in July,

In a statement, Rihanna said:

"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. I have been very fortunate to work with some truly amazing designers and stylists throughout my career, and they have been instrumental in making sure my creative vision reaches the stage. 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."

Nicola Roberts added: "I was so flattered when Rihanna asked me to work with her on this show. I'm so excited for us to get started on finding a new up and coming British designer who just needs a chance, a little bit of help in getting their skills noticed."
