BGT fans beg for KSI to return as judge after Bruno Tonioli stand-in
KSI was a surprise addition to the judging panel of Britain's Got Talent, as he stepped in for Bruno Tonioli, and fans were desperate for the YouTube star to return
As the thrilling first episode of Britain's Got Talent aired on Saturday evening, viewers were pleasantly surprised by a change in the judging panel, with KSI stepping in for Bruno Tonioli, joining regulars Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell. The 31 year old Youtube sensation was called upon to fill in for Bruno, who was unable to attend the Blackpool auditions due to a clash with his commitments to Dancing with the Stars, the US version of Strictly Come Dancing.
Covering for three days, it marked the first time the influencer and pro boxer had been invited to judge on the panel, and within minutes, viewers were won over by his enthusiasm and "hilarious" remarks as he commented on the auditions taking place before him. In fact, KSI was so well-received, some fans even suggested he should permanently replace Bruno, with many urging ITV to bring him back on a long-term basis.

Sharing their thoughts on social media, viewers didn't hold back in praising the BGT newcomer, reports the Mirror.
"KSI was made for BGT," one fan enthused.
ā
Another agreed, saying: "Delighted that my one of my favourite TV shows is back! Great that KSI is a guest judge."
A third viewer chimed in: "#BritainsGotTalent How hilarious is KSI lmfao can we keep him as a full time judge! ! ! ! '" Before a fourth added: "Actually good addition adding much needed fun."
BGT heads enlisted KSI as a guest judge, in order to take advantage of his massive online presence, with 80 million followers avidly watching his content across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. An insider revealed: "Their new judge doesn't just know a thing or two about entertaining, he has a colossal following who are largely young and tech savvy, which is just the sort of viewer that the show now thrives on."
ā
"The signing of KSI aligns perfectly with BGT's reputation not only as a television phenomenon but also an internet sensation, with snippets of performances amassing a whopping 24 billion views globally. Having clocked in 2.7 billion streams for his music, KSI is seen as an ideal fit for the BGT brand."
KSI himself isn't discounting the possibility of returning to the show, having expressed his growing ease in his role: "Once I figured out what makes sense and my place, I kind of just ran with it and I got more and more comfortable and came into my own."
ā
Recounting the experience, he described: "It kind of reminded me when I perform or even when I'm boxing, I'd hear people screaming, shouting my name," according to The Sun.
He relished the familiar buzz of public adoration, adding, "It was craziness like that, but it was cool. Even while I'm sitting there to hear people shout my name and have people asking for a photo and just enjoying the whole experience."
Hinting at a possible return to the judging panel, he remarked: "I really enjoyed the experience, and I don't know if they want me back. I don't know if I made a good impression. But if I did, and they do want me back, you know, I'm fully down! ".
