It's bonkers, but it's true! Plans are in the mix to give rapper Dizzee Rascal his own scripted comedy show - and it's the makers of The Inbetweeners who are behind the idea.
According to reports, the show’s script-writers Damon Beesley and Iain Morris are very keen to get Dizzee on board to make their new show, about a rapper, a roaring success.
However, they've not decided as to whether Dizzee will actually act in the show or whether he'll be a behind-the-scenes type man, giving them the whole lowdown on how rappers operate - although chances are, he may indeed make an appearance on-screen. In fact, he has to show his face surely – it would make us watch it for a start!
Anyway, we have previously met Dizzee a few times and we can confirm he can be completely hilarious in his everyday life, let alone when he’s trying to be funny. But can he make a brand new TV show a comic success? Yeah, we reckon he probably could.
A source said, "Dizzee is a big personality with loads of charisma and the writers think he would be the ideal subject for the show."
But again the question of whether Dizzee will put on his acting face is up to the bosses. The source added, "It's just a question of whether or not he has the acting ability to pull it off".
Well, count us in Inbetweers people, we’re sold. And if you need any help deciding on whether Dizzee can cut it or not, we'd be happy to help out!
