50 Cent wants to appear in 'Shameless'.

The 'Baby By Me' rapper has been desperate to star in the British comedy series ever since he was introduced to it during a trip to the UK - even though he doesn't understand all the show's jokes.

He said: "I saw it when I was over in London last year. I just thought it was a very real show, with real people.

"The US likes to portray the English as all drinking tea and speaking like the Queen, but this was real. It was really funny as well. I won't pretend I understood all the English humour, but I got more than enough to know their writers know their game.

"I was laughing out loud in my hotel room watching a show that I had never heard of. I have bought the DVDs since I've been back in the US and I'd be up for doing a cameo.

"I am sure their writers could dream up some bad ass character for me."

50 is not the only US rapper with aspirations to star in a TV show.

Jay-Z revealed he wants to work with Simon Cowell on his reality show 'The X Factor', and has offered his services as a judge.

He said: "Simon, if you need any help for the next series of 'The X Factor' let me know, man, and I'm your judge. There is a lot of untapped hip-hop talent in the UK and if they want my help finding some for the final 12 I am sure I could assist."
