Viewers Criticize KSI’s ‘Ironic’ Role as Britain’s Got Talent Judge
This year, the judging panel of Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) has welcomed KSI, a prominent musician, YouTuber, and boxer, as a permanent judge. He joins industry veterans Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon after the departure of Bruno Tonioli.
KSI’s New Role on Britain’s Got Talent
Bruno Tonioli’s exit from the show was announced in September 2023. He expressed his sentiments about leaving BGT after three successful series, saying it has introduced him to an incredible array of talent. Despite moving on to film a new season of Dancing With The Stars in the US, he wished KSI the best in his new role.
A Daring Performance Opens the Show
The first episode of the 2026 season kicked off with a dramatic performance by a husband-and-wife duo. Their daredevil act, which involved risking third-degree burns, captivated both the audience and the judges.
- Simon Cowell remarked, “It was visually stunning.”
- KSI noted, “Finally, the first good act of the day.”
- Ant and Dec, the beloved hosts, praised the performance as “absolutely amazing, spectacular, tremendous.”
With KSI now a part of the judging team, viewers and fans eagerly anticipate the dynamic he brings to the show. His presence adds a fresh perspective, particularly after Bruno’s exiting comments about the talent showcased on BGT.
Conclusion
KSI’s acceptance into the judging panel marks a significant change in the show’s lineup, capturing the interest of both long-time viewers and new audiences. As the series progresses, it will be fascinating to see how his contributions shape the competition and influence the judges’ decisions.
