In an exclusive revelation, Sidemen member Ethan Payne, widely known as Behzinga, has teased the possibility of a groundbreaking new gameshow that would involve the YouTube group's fanbase, encouraging supporters to initiate a petition to bring the concept to life.
Sidemen's Vision for a Public-Facing Competition
The 30-year-old co-founder of the Sidemen, which includes prominent figures such as KSI, Simon Minter, Vikram Singh Barn, Joshua Bradley, Harry Lewis, and Tobi Brown, disclosed that discussions have taken place regarding a spin-off version of their successful reality series, 'Inside.' This show, currently available on Netflix, typically features influencers living together and competing for a substantial prize fund of up to £1 million through daily challenges that can deduct money from the final award.
Ethan Payne's Enthusiastic Endorsement
Speaking to the Mirror ahead of the Formula E EVO Sessions event held at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia on February 16, 2026, Ethan expressed his excitement about the potential for a public-oriented format. He remarked, "Me and JJ [KSI] have definitely said it would be insane to watch with people from the public. Because the amount of care for the prize money would be insane and I feel like you'd get a lot more drama. It might be too much drama."
He further elaborated on the anticipated authenticity of such a series, noting, "I definitely think there'd be a bit more of a real edge to it and people's decisions would definitely have way more of a knock-on effect throughout the whole thing." In a playful yet earnest call to action, Ethan urged fans, "Start a petition!"
Fan Engagement and Petition Requirements
For this proposed gameshow to materialize, Ethan set a lofty benchmark, suggesting that a petition would need to garner at least 100,000 signatures. Given the Sidemen's collective subscriber base exceeding 100 million across their YouTube channels, achieving this target appears feasible, potentially mobilizing a significant portion of their dedicated audience.
The existing 'Inside' series continues to stream on Netflix, offering viewers a glimpse into the high-stakes world of influencer competitions. Meanwhile, the Formula E EVO Sessions, where Ethan participated by driving the advanced GEN3 Evo race car against other top content creators, are available for streaming on Formula E's official YouTube channel.
As the Sidemen explore innovative avenues to engage their vast fan community, this potential spin-off represents a bold step towards democratizing entertainment, blending reality television with public participation in an unprecedented manner.
