The new series of TV talent show, Arab Idol, hasn't even appeared on the region's screens yet but already the hype surrounding the judges and the contestants has hit boiling point.
With new judge, Nancy, in tow, the cast set off for Beirut this week to make sure that even those of us who've been hiding under a rock for the last year will know about Arab Idol 2.
Ahlam, Ragheb, Nancy et al are filming a promo for season 2 to get us all glued to our screens and the finalists and winners of last season are composing a song especially for the beginning of the first show.
So if you thought you could escape the pre-series mania, you'd be wrong!
