Viewers flocked to social media platforms to express their opinions about KSI’s role as a judge.
Someone commented: “Initially, I was disappointed when they announced it because I found him irritating and expected him to be awful. However, he has introduced a vibrant and new perspective to the panel of judges who had grown old and dull. It would be fantastic to see him take over from Amanda or Bruno instead! #BGT.”
Another commented: ‘At last! The finest part of it all. A charming fellow. He should have a permanent spot as a judge!’
A third person commented: “Petition to have KSI serve as a permanent judge on #BGT.”
The show has had numerous plot twists and unexpected developments, including spectacular golden buzzer instances as well as Judge KSI getting tricked by his sibling right on stage.
ITV has at last verified the specifics for the much-awaited conclusion.
The event will occur on Saturday, May 31 and will broadcast for an impressive two hours and 45 minutes, airing from 7 pm to 9:45 pm.
The program usually runs for about two hours, hence the elongated conclusion is expected to be quite spectacular; however, the final contestants have not been announced yet.
Throughout the show, we’ve seen various remarkable performances, such as an artist inserting a corkscrew and meat hook into their head and nose, emerging from their mouth.
Even as the judges were left puzzled by Bao Cuong’s audacious act.
The show has similarly found itself entangled in controversy over alleged fixes, such as when singer Max Fox shocked the judges by shouting from the crowd and pleading for an opportunity to perform.
The judges were left perplexed by the eruption and firmly believed it was staged for the production.
Max shared that he had attempted to audition for 19 consecutive years without success and pleaded with Simon for an opportunity to perform onstage.
He implored, “Could you offer me just one chance? I am eager to demonstrate what I’m capable of.”
The eruption triggered evident bewilderment among the panel members, and Simon rose from his seat asking, “Are you for real? Wait, is someone pulling our leg?”
Max stunned the audience with his compelling version of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” resulting in a standing ovation and securing the Golden Buzzer.
Nevertheless, certain individuals later alleged that the incident was staged, and Simon tried to address these accusations last month during an appearance on “ThisMorning.”
He stated: “By my life, I vow to God that wasn’t staged; I genuinely believed ‘Someone must have inserted it.’’ So, I asked the producers, ‘Seriously, this has got to be a setup, right?’ And they responded, ‘Nope.'”
Simon proceeded to clarify: “I simply believed we would keep it under wraps, but he expressed a desire to perform in front of me, so I figured why not.”
I couldn’t stop laughing, and when the golden buzzer went off, I exclaimed, “Nobody’s going to believe this.”
