KSI will be at the Blackpool auditions later this month

BGT has a new judge joining the panel for the 2025 series as Bruno Tonioli is replaced by show bosses.

Bruno only joined Britain’s Got Talent in 2023. But, thanks to other work commitments, he won’t be on hand as the auditions kick off this time around.

Instead, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon will be joined by a new famous face, who’ll replace the star.

BGT 2025: Bruno Tonioli takes time out

Bruno has kept his contract with Dancing With the Stars out in the States. And, as the auditions kick off for the 2025 series of BGT, he’ll be needed across the pond.

It’s been claimed that he will miss three of the five days of auditions in Blackpool when they kick off this month.

Instead, his seat on the panel will be kept warm by YouTuber and rapper KSI. And, it’s been claimed that it’s a shake-up that’s been in the works for the past four months.
