Britain’s Got Talent fans have issued a plea to show bosses as their show has seen a major shake-up with the judging panel. The hit talent show returned to our TV screens last weekend and viewers were in for a treat as they introduced a new judge.
Youtube star and rapper KSI, 31, made his debut on the panel alongside Simon Cowell, and Alesha Dixon.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly explained that KSI would be filling in for Bruno Tonioli, who couldn’t make it to Blackpool as he was filming Dancing with the Stars in the US.
In signing KSI, BGT bosses were said to be hoping that he would bring in some of his 80 million followers as viewers of the long-running reality TV show.
During the latest episode on Saturday evening (March 1), KSI made another appearance as the show headed to Blackpool, and just minutes in, he made one contestant’s dream come true.

Stacey Leadbeatter had the audience on their feet and stunned not only viewers at home but the judges with her performance.
To make things even better, KSI was so impressed that he pressed his golden buzzer, which meant she made it through to the semi-finals.
Fellow judge Simon was also blown away by her vocals, as he encouraged her to take away some confidence and to believe how good she really is. Emotions were high as Stacey burst into tears as her mum rushed onto stage and gave her a big hug.

Fans were left seriously impressed with KSI on the programme as they called for him to replace Bruno. One viewer wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I don’t know much about KSI because I’m getting on a bit but he is miles better than Bruno #BGT.”
Another said: “Can’t believe I’m saying this, but KSI might be the best thing to happen to BGT in a while #BritainsGotTalent.”
A third said: “Imagine getting a golden buzzer from KSI, Wow. I hope he’s on the panel for the live shows! #BritainsGotTalent #BGT.”
Meanwhile one added “KSI would be a better full time judge than Bruno tbh. #BritainsGotTalent.”
