Social media star KSI has been spotted in Blackpool and we have the details about why.

The second round of Britain's Got Talent auditions, for the show’s 2025 edition, were held at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens on Wednesday afternoon (October 16).

KSI, whose real name is Olajide JJ Olatunji, joined long-time judges Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon as a guest judge.

The 31-year-old, who shot to fame with his YouTube Fifa gaming commentary videos, waved to the crowd and smiled widely as he walked into the auditions in a black jacket, trousers and dark T-shirt, with a black bandana.

KSI, who is part of popular YouTube group Sidemen, will act as a guest judge on the show’s 18th series, while former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli completes his Dancing With The Stars commitments in the US.

He was joined by Amanda, 53, who wore a short green skirt and signed autographs for fans as she arrived.

Simon, 65, wore his trademark dark sunglasses with a dark grey top as he posed for photos with fans on arrival at the Winter Gardens, while Alesha, 46, arrived in a bright red jacket, white shirt and black trousers, waving to onlookers.

Speaking about joining the ITV talent show earlier this month, KSI said he “couldn’t believe” he had been asked to judge.

He said: “I’m so excited to be a guest judge for Britain’s Got Talent.

“When I got the call-up, I couldn’t believe it. I remember watching old BGT episodes and going from being amazed to laughing my arse off.

“I’m buzzing to see all the fresh new talent, and I’ll be sure to leave a mark.”

Britain’s Got Talent will return to ITV next year.
