news report - Among other things, it will give Rice a chance to indulge her passion for The Beatles.
Not only is she visiting the band's home city, she is also touring the town which inspired one of their more curious lyrics.
"I read the news today, oh boy. 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire," run the words from the song "A Day in the Life". John Lennon wrote the words after seeing a newspaper headline about the poor state of roads in Blackburn.
"I never understood that Beatles song," Rice said earlier this month when asked about her forthcoming trip. "Perhaps now I'll get the chance."
