KSI announced as a new judge on Britain’s Got Talent

He’ll be replacing Bruno on the panel

KSI has been confirmed as a new judge on the next series of Britain’s Got Talent.

The YouTuber will be stepping into regular judge Bruno Tonioli’s shoes for a number of episodes during the 2025 series.

The Italian will miss these episodes due to a scheduling conflict with Dancing With the Stars in the US, a show which he’s also a judge on.

So, KSI will replace him for three days during the Britain’s Got Talent auditions in October.

Speaking about joining the popular ITV show, KSI – who has also forged successful careers in boxing and music – said: “I’m so excited to be a guest judge for BGT. When I got the call up, I couldn’t believe it. I remember watching old BGT episodes and going from being amazed to laughing my a**e off. I’m buzzing to see all the fresh new talent, and I’ll be sure to leave a mark.”

BGT regular Alesha Dixon said she was looking forward to KSI joining the judging panel, saying he’s “really smart” and has a “fabulous personality.”

She told WalesOnline: “I think he’s built a fantastic little empire for himself. He’s multi-talented and I think he’s going to be a brilliant addition to the show.

“And I think he and I will have probably a lot of friends in common and a lot of things in common, both loving music. So I’m looking forward to working with him.”
