British TV show fans relieved that new judge will join the series, saving it from cancellation.
In the latest developments on Britain's Got Talent, fans are buzzing with excitement over the announcement of a new temporary judge on the show. It seems that the popular talent competition has caught the attention of a whole new audience with the news of Bruno Tonioli's stand-in.

The 68-year-old former judge from Strictly Come Dancing will unfortunately have to miss a few episodes of the show due to scheduling conflicts. He will be busy filming Dancing With The Stars in the US during that time. But fear not, because ITV has revealed that YouTuber KSI will be taking his place temporarily. This has delighted viewers, with many expressing their joy on social media.

One Instagram user, @leonthowitt, declared, "Bro might have just saved BGT," while another, @joe.h187, exclaimed, "Now I'm gonna watch it bcs of ksi." Even those who are not able to tune in to the show, like @everythingezra_also, are wishing they could, saying, "Really wish I lived in the uk rn."

For those who may not know, KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, is a well-known English social media influencer, professional boxer, and musician. He is also a co-founding member of the popular YouTube group, the Sidemen, and has his own successful YouTube channels with over 41 million subscribers.

But that's not all, KSI is also the CEO of Misfits Boxing, and the co-owner of several businesses, including Prime Hydration, XIX Vodka, Sidemen Clothing, a restaurant chain called Sides, and a cereal brand called Best Breakfasts. He first gained a following on YouTube in 2009 by posting gaming commentary videos of the FIFA video game series, and has since expanded his content to include vlogs and comedy-style videos. He has also made appearances on popular shows like Top Gear, Celebrity Gogglebox, and The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off.

KSI will now join Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda Holden on the judging panel for Britain's Got Talent. With his massive following and popularity among younger audiences, BGT producers are hoping to attract a new demographic to the show.

According to a source, "Simon Cowell knows KSI is a huge hit with the younger generation...[and] would be a great addition to pull in teenage fans, which is something the producers are keen to do." Negotiations are currently underway to work out a deal that will accommodate KSI's busy schedule.

There were rumors circulating that Bruno Tonioli had stepped down from his role on BGT, but Simon Cowell quickly shut those down during an interview with Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on Heart Breakfast. He explained that there was a scheduling issue and a stand-in judge may be needed. Amanda also shared her admiration for Bruno, saying, "He brings such an amazing energy, and he knows so much..." Simon echoed her sentiments, adding, "He's a brilliant, brilliant judge and the nicest person. So no, I would not replace him!"

The Agency has reached out to both ITV and representatives for Bruno Tonioli and KSI for comment. Fans can expect to see the return of Britain's Got Talent to ITV later this year, filling the slot left by the end of Saturday Night Takeaway. Stay tuned for more updates and exciting performances!
