Rio Ferdinand shares photos of his stag weekend in Barcelona

And he's taken 'Kate' with him...

They say ‘What happens on a stag do, stays on a stag do’, but that hasn’t stopped Rio Ferdinand sharing pictures of his bachelor weekend in Barcelona.

The former footballer, 40, is set to marry Kate Wright in the very near future.

And while the couple haven’t announced an official date for their nuptials yet, Rio seems to be enjoying the last of his freedom in the Spanish city.

He’s even been carrying an INFLATABLE MODEL of his future wife!

Man United legend Rio has taken a huge group of blokes over to Barcelona, and they seem to be having a whale of a time.

One picture that he posted on Instagram showed them all together, with Rio standing in the centre in a Trilby hat and sunglasses.

He captioned the shot: “So much laughing with this lot. Thank you to all of you.”

And his fans seemed to love the photo. One wrote: “Yes yes Rio, congratulations bro.”

Rio’s first wife Rebecca Ellison died in 2015 after a battle with breast cancer, leaving the football star to look after the couple’s three children – Lorenz, 12, Tate, 10, and Tia, eight.

Two years later, Rio started dating Kate, and since then she’s really ingratiated herself with Rio’s kids.

He wrote: “So glad she said yes, I am so proud of you dad and Kate, love you both so much.”
