A documentary following Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and his family life is coming to Netflix.
The Portuguese striker, who recently became the all time leading goalscorer in international football, has just moved back to Manchester with his girlfriend and young family.
Meanwhile, Georgina – who has been with Cristiano for five years – is in the middle of launching her own reality TV show on Netflix called I Am Georgina.
The 27-year-old made the surprising announcement on Monday night, sharing a promotional picture of her new project which showed her in bed eating pizza.
The show will see Ronaldo tell the story of how he and Georgina met, revealing that “it was a split-second moment”.

Her life changed five years ago when Ronaldo walked into the Gucci store she was being paid £10 an hour to work at. The rest is history.
Netflix Spain’s Director of Entertainment Alvaro Diaz said: “Georgina is totally honest and recognises in the documentary that her life changed from having nothing to absolutely everything.

“‘I Am Georgina’ has a strong aspirational component. Georgina went from selling luxury to being gifted it and showing it off on the red carpet.
“She was a normal young woman whose life changed dramatically one day.

“She was leaving work one day and crossed paths with the love of her life. Who has not dreamed of that?”

He also confirmed Ronaldo would make an appearance, adding: “Cristiano’s incorporation is total but complements a vision of who Georgina is and her relationship with the father of her children.
“It was a split-second moment. I never thought it would be that big as to fall in love with her, I really didn’t expect it,” he says in the new production.
“It conditions all her life but the focus is on her and knowing her also through her own eyes.”
Rodriguez will get her first taste of Old Trafford on Saturday, when Ronaldo makes his Manchester United return against Newcastle at home.

Channel 4 is looking for Mancs who think they can survive the apocalypse for a new TV series
Lydia Mastrolonardo
Have you always wanted to see how long you’d last in an apocalypse?
Well now’s your chance, as Apocalypse is potentially coming back to Channel 4 for a second series, with producers having put out a nationwide casting call for contestants willing to take part.
The casting call simply reads: “Do you think you have what it takes to survive the end of the world?”
Described as a dystopian series designed to test the creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience of our nation, Apocalypse sees players are pushed out of their comfort zones and put to the ultimate test.
In the series, ordinary people are tasked with surviving for 28 days in an abandoned city – used previously only for the military to practice urban warfare – with no food, running water, electricity or heat.
Produced by The Garden – which is part of ITV Studios – for Channel 4, the show’s creators are now calling on Mancs and people up and down the country with the ‘courage and ingenuity’ to compete, to get in touch and apply for the potential second series.
Does your mate always bang on after watching a post-apocalyptic film that they would’ve done things differently? Or is the news at the moment freaking you out and you want to give the end of the world a bit of a practice run? Either way, sign up, test that plan you’ve built in your head, and see if you’ve really got what it takes.
Applications are now open, and all you need to do is fill in a short application form and one of the production team will get back to you if they would like to proceed. Come on, let’s prove what Mancs are made of.
Hundreds of katsu curries are being given out for FREE in Manchester this week

Hundreds of katsu curries are being dished up and given out for free in Manchester this week, but only for certain people.
And those lucky people will be students.
That’s right… a new semester is upon us, and thousands of freshers and returning students are descending on the city and Manchester‘s many universities for another year. But the life of a student isn’t exactly the cheapest sometimes, especially for those who haven’t had to live on a budget before moving out or into halls.
But to make things a little easier, Tampopo has announced it’ll be serving hundreds of one of its most popular dishes for free this week.
Tampopo is celebrating National Katsu Curry Day in the most delicious way possible, by giving away 700 Katsu Curries with rice for free, exclusively to freshers and students this Sunday (27 September).
Whether you’re brand new to the city, settling back into uni life, or you’re simply in need of a katsu fix, students can head to their nearest participating Tampopo and tuck into a hearty meal without needing to spend a penny.
100 katsu curries will be available each from 12-2pm at both Tampopo restaurants in Manchester city centre – which are on Albert Square, and in the Corn Exchange – or if you head over to the Trafford Centre, both the Tampopo there and the East Street sites are taking part.
“[Our] Katsu Curry has long been one of our most-loved dishes, so National Katsu Curry Day felt like the perfect excuse to give students a proper welcome to the new academic year,” Tampopo said in a statement.
So, are you feeling hungry then? The offer is exclusively available for takeaway only to freshers and students with a valid student ID, which they must present on collection.
100 portions are available at each participating location, and just one free katsu curry with rice will be available per person.
