Cheryl Cole will apparently feature on Rihanna’s new Sky Living show. The singer will make an appearance as a fashion adviser during the search for a talented designer, which also features Nicola Roberts and Henry Holland.

Cole visited the East London set of the show after returning from Las Vegas earlier this week, The Mirror reports. The winner of the programme will design a stage outfit for Rihanna, also the show’s executive producer, which she will wear when she headlines this year’s Wireless Festival.

“I am so excited to be working with Rihanna on finding a new British up-and-coming designer. I was so flattered when she asked me to work with her on this show,” Roberts has said of her new role. “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.”
