Simon Cowell has shared his fears that no one will turn up to audition for his latest talent quest.The entertainment tycoon, who's on the hunt for a new pop sensation akin to One Direction, a band he famously put together on The X Factor 14 years ago is launching a brand-new show to find fresh musical talent.

Despite his track record, Simon is feeling the pressure in this social media age, worrying that young hopefuls might prefer to stay in their bedrooms rather than step onto the stage.

Chatting with HELLO! magazine, he confessed: "[It's] one of the scariest things I've ever done because I have no safety net." Reflecting on the past, he added: "I used to do this 25 years ago, before social media, so now everyone is just in their bedrooms." But the big question on his mind is: "Are they going to turn up to audition?

I hope so! ". Even in a music scene currently ruled by solo female powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Olivia Rodrigo, the ' Britain's Got Talent ' judge is certain there's room for another chart-topping boy band.
