The Weeknd's HBO series The Idol premiered last week, and it's been the topic of many conversations since its debut.

Met with mixed reviews, The Idol follows an "aspiring pop star (Lily-Rose Depp) who begins a complicated relationship with a self-help guru and the head of a contemporary cult" (Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye) alongside the likes of Troye Sivan, Moses Sumney, Suzanna Son, Tyson Ritter, and Rachel Sennott.

American singer-songwriter and viral bassist, Blu DeTiger, has now revealed that she auditioned to play Depp's character Jocelyn, and has tweeted saying that if she gets one million likes, she will leak her audition tape.

The Idol is exclusively available to watch on Sky Atlantic.
