Hip-hop artist, influencer and professional boxer KSI is confirmed to be the temporary replacement for the former Strictly Come Dancing judge on the talent show.
Bruno will be absent from a few episodes filmed this month due to clashing schedules with Dancing with the Stars in the US, where he also serves as a judge. As a result, KSI will assume the role for three days during BGT's Blackpool auditions this October. In an exclusive chat with the Record and other Reach publications about the new Media, Broadcast and Production T-level, Alesha discussed the change.
Asked if she was looking forward to seeing KSI temporarily step into Bruno’s shoes, Alesha confirmed: “I am, actually. I really like KSI. I think he's really smart, he’s got a fabulous personality.
“I think he's built a fantastic little empire for himself. He's multi-talented and I think he's going to be a brilliant add.
