KSI has apologised after his golden buzzer act, Mr Cherry, delivered a bizarre semi-final performance on Britain's Got Talent that left viewers and judges baffled. The act, which involved sticking objects up his backside, prompted widespread criticism on social media.
During Saturday night's live show, Mr Cherry was carried into the auditorium surrounded by dancers in red outfits. He performed stunts including playing musical instruments and opening bottles with his derrière, and even placed his shorts on KSI's head. The other judges—Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda Holden—all pressed their red buzzers, while KSI abstained.
KSI, visibly embarrassed, apologised to the nation during his feedback. 'I am so sorry to the whole of the UK,' he said, though he also praised Mr Cherry's energy. Alesha Dixon called the act 'a load of rubbish', while Amanda Holden remarked, 'Bottom line, it was pants.' Simon Cowell offered the most restrained critique.
Viewers were equally unimpressed. One wrote on X: 'Thank God that stopped. I was wondering what else would have gone up his a**e.' Another said: 'This is honestly a new low for the show.' Mr Cherry had originally earned KSI's golden buzzer in the auditions, despite Simon Cowell pressing his red buzzer at the time.
Britain's Got Talent continues on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
