KSI is set to make a grand return as a judge on Britain's Got Talent next weekend with hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly announcing the news during Sunday's (May 18) live semi-final show.
Ant informed the audience: "We'll be back on Saturday with KSI joining the judging panel." The YouTube sensation had earlier made an impression during the audition rounds at Blackpool's Winter Gardens.
Influencer and musician KSI filled in for Bruno Tonioli while he was committed to Dancing with the Stars in the US and also replaced Simon Cowell after the unfortunate passing of One Direction's Liam Payne.

Looking towards future series, KSI is tipped to become a permanent fixture on the judging bench, his popularity and substantial social media influence being key factors.
Meanwhile, youthful illusionist Teddy Magic has withdrawn from the 2025 contest.
