Get ready for a thrilling new season of Britain's Got Talent (BGT) as the countdown reaches its climax! The stage is set for an epic return, and we're about to witness some fresh talent and a new dynamic on the judging panel.
ITV viewers are eagerly anticipating the comeback of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and the newest addition, KSI. With a massive £250,000 jackpot and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance up for grabs, the pressure is on for the contestants to impress three out of four judges.
But here's where it gets interesting... Contestants can bypass rounds and advance straight to the semi-finals if they manage to secure a golden buzzer from the judges or the hosts, Ant and Dec. Talk about a fast track to success!
In a recent interview, Amanda Holden shared her thoughts on KSI, the latest member of the BGT family. And this is the part most people miss... KSI officially joined the judging team this year, but he's no stranger to the show, having made guest appearances in 2025. He's taking over from Bruno Tonioli, who had to step down due to scheduling conflicts.
When asked about KSI's impact on the panel, Amanda gushed, "He's super cool and incredibly personable. I feel like I've known him forever."
But wait, there's more! Amanda went on to say, "I feel a bit protective over him, almost like a mother. He brings a no-nonsense approach, cutting straight to the chase. He's direct and to the point, which is refreshing."
However, Amanda couldn't resist taking a playful jab at KSI's music career. When asked about her thoughts on his music, she gave a cheeky grimace and smirk, clearly hesitant to comment. The video then added sound effects of crickets, and Amanda playfully conceded, "I have to admit, I did enjoy his last single."
So, what do you think? Will KSI's direct approach win over the contestants and viewers alike? And will Amanda's protective nature towards him become a running theme on the show? We'll have to tune in to find out!
Britain's Got Talent returns to ITV1 and ITVX on Saturday, February 21st, at 7 pm. Don't miss out on the excitement and the chance to witness the magic unfold!
