KSI Joins Britain’s Got Talent Replacing Bruno Tonioli

Bruno Tonioli has announced he will be stepping down as a judge on Britain's Got Talent due to scheduling conflicts with his role on the US version of Dancing with the Stars. After three series on BGT, Tonioli expressed sadness at leaving but praised the show and the team, while looking forward to his US commitments. Replacing him permanently is KSI, a musician, YouTuber, and boxer who previously served as a guest judge and won acclaim for his energy and talent-spotting abilities, including selecting the golden buzzer act Harry Moulding who won the last series. KSI expressed enthusiasm about joining the judging panel full-time alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon for the 19th series airing in 2026. The show will continue to hold open auditions in London, welcoming performers of all ages and talents. Both Tonioli and KSI have conveyed mutual respect, with Tonioli confident that KSI will be a fantastic addition to the show.
