ritainâs Got Talent viewers are convinced KSI could be worrying about his future on the ITV show after a string of awkward moments during the latest live semi-final.
The YouTuber and rapper sparked a huge reaction online, with some fans predicting he âwonât be coming back next yearâ following his appearance tonight.
Across the two hour broadcast, KSI appeared to choke on water, struggled with his feedback and admitted he did not recognise two famous songs.

Others felt KSI repeatedly stumbled through his comments during the show. One claimed he had âforgotten how to use wordsâ.
Britainâs Got Talent fans brand KSI âterribleâ after gaffes
Eight acts performed during tonightâs third live semi final, including The Lux City Choir and harpist and singer Niamh Noade.
However, KSI admitted he did not recognise either song used in their performances. Niamh performed Electric Dreams by Human Leagueâs Philip Oakey. But KSI confessed the track âdidnât resonateâ because he did not know it.
Meanwhile, The Lux City Choir performed The Climb, the hit made famous by Miley Cyrus.
Back in 2009, Simon Cowell secured the rights to the song so Joe McElderry could release it as his X Factor winnerâs single. Simon is unlikely to be impressed by KSI not recognising itâŠ
As the show continued, fans noticed more awkward moments from the judge.

Viewers quickly shared their reactions on X.
One said: âKSI looks he knows heâs had a terrible TV performance tonight. Itâs such a hard watch. Says the same thing everytime, copies what other judges say. Can see the pain on Simonâs face.â
Another added: âAnyone nervous for KSI this evening? I reckon heâll wake up with THE FEAR after we all do after a work night and we didnât say right things in front of the boss.â
A third remarked: âI dunno how I feel about KSI being a judge on BGT. Heâs not liked much tonight and didnât know songs etc!â
A fourth wrote: âKSIÂ faltering a lot this evening giving feedback,â and a fifth penned: âIts like KSIÂ has forgotten how to use words.â
Someone else chimed in: âI have a feeling that KSIÂ wonât be coming back next year because he is not bull[bleeping]. He is too honest on this show, he is not playing the tv game by hyping up everything. Simon will get rid of him.â

Golden Buzzer âteaseâ
KSI was given control of the Golden Buzzer during tonightâs show. He waited until the penultimate performance before using it on fire performer Liwei Yang.
Earlier in the evening, he teased the audience by pretending he might press it for comedian Ted Hill. As the crowd chanted, KSI asked: âDo you want me to press the gold?â
After pausing, he then replied: âNah, maybe if I was Simon.â
Some viewers were not impressed by the moment. One complained: âI actually think KSI teasing Ted with the Golden Buzzer was actually kinda cruelâŠ.â
âThat was so bad for KSI to say to him âshall I press the goldâ and get his hopes up to then turn around and say no. I felt so bad for Ted,â another added.
âI thought he was really rude tonight,â said another. âThat was so bad for KSI to say to him âshall I press the goldâ and get his hopes up to then turn around and say no, I felt so bad for Ted,â another agreed. âIt was just cruel to taunt Ted like that,â they added.
âLiterally, like if he didnât want to press it for him absolutely fair enough itâs his choice, but donât goad him with it then say no, it was just awkward for poor Ted,â another agreed.
âBest judge on the showâ
However, not everyone agreed with the criticism.
One viewer wrote: âKSIÂ is the best judge on this show fair play to him not being pushed to press it.â
Others also praised his honesty during the live shows. One fan said: âKSI is the best judge on this show.â
Another agreed: âKSI is the only judge being honest. I have agreed with every thing he has said in the live semi finals.â
