Simon Cowell set to launch his Got Talent brand in war torn Afghanistan

Albania’s Got Talent, Argentina’s Got Talent, Armenia’s Got Talent,  China’s Got Talent, Ukraine’s Got Talent and Kazakhstan’s Got Talent, are just some of the most interesting  places on the planet that have embraced Simon Cowell’s entertainment formulae.

However, the music mogul is not satisfied, he now wants to add war torn Afghanistan to the list making it the 58^th country to adapt the Got Talent brand.

According to reports the One Direction boss has negotiated a deal with channel 1TV and Afghanistan’s Got Talent will start later this year. It has been revealed that auditions are already taking place all around the country, while producers are continuing their hunt for a presenter to front the show.

A source told The Sun that Cowell believes the series can work anywhere, in any country of the world and explained:

“Simon has always believed Got Talent can work anywhere, because — no matter where you are — people have amazing talents.”

Contestants will include members of the general public but could also include soldiers and those involved in the conflict and peace keeping duties.

The source added:

“Rules are being drawn up but there is a possibility troops will be allowed to enter — assuming they can get permission.”

Forces are perfectly placed to take part, as already regular talent nights and competitions are hosted at army bases around the country.
