Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell has shared his nerves ahead of his next career move.
Simon, who also created BGT, is worried about how the new series of America's Got Talent will be received by its audience, the Mirror reports. Speaking before the launch of the 18th season of the hit NBC series the music mogul said: "I remember actually it was here (in Pasadena) and I hadn't worked over here for a while.
"Of course, I'd produced the show and then I remember standing to go into the audience and I remember thinking, what if nobody clapped?

"Literally that this could be very awkward. So it felt a little bit like being the new kid at school and then the day was just amazing. It was just one of my favourite days."
Smiling about doing so well for almost 20 years, he added: "It's always for me about finding those little gems. I always say doing this job, it's like, you know, are mining for diamonds because it's hard to find bona fide superstars.
"I know on all these shows, everyone says, you're going to be a star, you're going to be a star. It's very, very, very, very few who really, really do make it.
"So you hope that you've spotted that person on your show. That's what you pray for. And a few times this year, I think genuinely we found some amazing people. And if we don't, we have no show. That's the way it goes."
