RIO TO CONCENTRATE ON HIS CAREER

First we had Changing Rooms doing up horror houses, then Ground Force fixing grotty gardens.

Now up-and-coming telly mogul RIO FERDINAND is joining the renovation revolution with a show blinging up Premiership pads.

The Manchester United ace and his fledgling production company are making a new series of surprise makeover shows for fellow footballers.

And Rio — who struck gold with his World Cup Wind-Ups programme in June — has top Premiership stars and their WAGs in his sights.

A source said: “Rio has really got his teeth into the telly game.

“He came up with the idea behind World Cup Wind-ups, which was a big success.

“People loved seeing Rooney worry he'd really killed a dog.

“Now he's hoping for another result with the makeover show.

“He has some really wacky style consultants and interior designers prepared to transform rooms in a way that hasn't been done before.

“Millionaire footballers already have a lot of gadgetry so he is going to great lengths to do something special.”

A Next Generation TV source said: “This is another one of Rio's great ideas which we've got broadcasters buzzing about.

“Rio and the whole team can't wait to get started on the show.

“We've got a few big names lined up from the biggest teams in the Premiership. It will make great TV. As well as this project we also have a reality TV show and a film in development.”
