python - TfidfVectorizer in scikit-learn : ValueError: np.nan is an invalid document

I'm using TfidfVectorizer from scikit-learn to do some feature extraction from text data. I have a CSV file with a Score (can be +1 or -1) and a Review (text). I pulled this data into a DataFrame so I can run the Vectorizer.

This is my code:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer

df = pd.read_csv("train_new.csv",
             names = ['Score', 'Review'], sep=',')

# x = df['Review'] == np.nan
#
# print x.to_csv(path='FindNaN.csv', sep=',', na_rep = 'string', index=True)
#
# print df.isnull().values.any()

v = TfidfVectorizer(decode_error='replace', encoding='utf-8')
x = v.fit_transform(df['Review'])

This is the traceback for the error I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/PycharmProjects/Review/src/feature_extraction.py", line 16, in <module>
x = v.fit_transform(df['Review'])

 raise ValueError("np.nan is an invalid document, expected byte or "
 ValueError: np.nan is an invalid document, expected byte or unicode string.

I checked the CSV file and DataFrame for anything that's being read as NaN but I can't find anything. There are 18000 rows, none of which return isnan as True.

This is what df['Review'].head() looks like:

You need to convert the dtype object to unicode string as is clearly mentioned in the traceback.

x = v.fit_transform(df['Review'].values.astype('U'))  ## Even astype(str) would work

From the Doc page of TFIDF Vectorizer:

fit_transform(raw_documents, y=None)

Parameters: raw_documents : iterable
an iterable which yields either str, unicode or file objects
