A celebrity judge on Afghanistan's version of the tv reality show, The Voice, says she has had death threats for not wearing a veil on screen.

Religious hardliners and conservatives there have condemned Aryana Sayeed and the show as a "threat to Islam."

Afghan politician Abdul Sattar Khawasi called for the jihad, saying:

Aryana says she has to block around 50 people a day on Twitter, as the online abuse and threats against her safety continue.
