Britain's Got Talent fans call for judge KSI to be replaced next year
'I'd rather have David Walliams,' one viewer commented
Britain’s Got Talent viewers were left calling for a huge change to be made ahead of next year’s show, and it’s bad news for judge KSI.
The influencer joined the panel permanently this year, replacing Bruno Tonioli.
He sits alongside long-running judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon. Although not for much longer if viewers have their say…
Britain’s Got Talent viewers call for KSI axe
As Ant and Dec announced last night that fans of the show could now start applying to appear on series 20, viewers decided that there’s one person they really don’t want to see appear… New judge KSI.
He’s sparked some backlash during series 19, with some of his comments branded rude. His behaviour also sparked concern in one of the live semi-finals, after her stumbled over his words and choked on his water.
Now, after this year’s winners were announced, it appears that viewers have had enough. And, as a result, they’re calling on Simon to make a change ahead of season 20 of the ITV1 show.
‘I’d rather have David Walliams’
“KSI, you are going home,” said one viewer on social media alongside an Apprentice ‘You’re fired’ meme. They added: “He’s the worst judge ever.”
A second said: “Is it just me or does anyone else agree that @KSI on @bgt is rude to the acts sometimes. Unless you’re under 25 no one knew who he was until he became a #bgt judge. He’s annoying and gets on my nerves.”

A third added: “I’d rather have David Williams than KSI. Who is he?!”
“Get KSI off the show already man,” said another.
‘KSI has been a great addition’
Not everyone felt the same, though.
One fan of the influencer ran a poll on social media asking if he should return, with more than 60% voting yes.
Another said: “He’s blunt but that’s what makes it watchable. BGT was falling off before he joined. Now people are actually talking about it again.”
Another agreed and said: “KSI has been a great addition.”
