KSI first sat on the Britain’s Got Talent judging panel during Series 18, when he filled in for judges Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell during several episodes. The following season, when Tonioli announced his departure from the series, the YouTube star was added as a permanent judge.
During Series 19, he pressed the coveted Golden Buzzer for acts such as young magician Rafferty Coope, Japanese strongman Mr. Cherry, and foot juggler Liwei Yang. Rafferty Coope and Liwei Yang ended up competing in the Finals.
