The three young men have appeared in a video released by the terror group threatening more attacks around the world
A reality TV star has allegedly turned to terrorism after being seen in an ISIS video with two other young men - threatening more attacks around the world.
The video was released just days after gunmen, said to be connected to the group, attacked a cafe in Dhaka, Bangladesh, killing 20 hostages.
Tahmid Rahman Shafi, who features heavily in the footage, was a top 10 finalist on Bangladesh's NTV reality music show in 1995.
He is also the son of the late election commissioner Shafiur Rahman, according to his former classmates from the Notre Dame College.
The video, which was reportedly released on Wednesday, features a number of propaganda messages from the terror group, as well as boasts about rising death tolls from a number of different terror attacks.
Shafi then says: "The jihad in Bangladesh, the one you are witnessing now, is nothing like anything you have seen before.
"What you witnessed in Bangladesh yesterday was just a glimpse, this will repeat, repeat and repeat until you lose and we win."
Also featured in the video was model Naila Nayem's former husband Tushar, a dentist by profession.
He went missing for around two years after completing education.
A third youth, appearing in the video with a headdress covering his face, has been identified as Tawsif Hossain.

It's believed that Hossain is a former student of the Institute of Business Administration of the Dhaka University.
All three young men spoke in Bangla during the clip, with only Shafi translating his speech to English.
The message, purportedly from ISIS has now gone viral after being shared on social media.
