Amr Diab surprised his fans by revealing on his Instagram account that he plans to take part in a television program in October 2018.
The singer-songwriter’s Instagram photo was captioned “a new program on Al Hayat channel in October 2018”, as he posed Sherif Khaled, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tawasol Media – which owns the Al Hayat channel.
