Stacey Solomon's Family Moment Sparks KSI's Broodiness on Britain's Got Talent
In a heartwarming and chaotic moment during this Saturday's episode of ITV's Britain's Got Talent, guest judge Stacey Solomon found her children gatecrashing the judging table mid-show. The 36-year-old television personality, who stepped in for head judge Simon Cowell following his recent fall, was joined by her young son Rex, leading to an adorable interaction that left fellow judge KSI feeling broody.
Family Interruption and KSI's Reaction
As seen in first-look footage from the upcoming episode, Stacey Solomon held her son Rex at the judging table when the toddler pointed at fellow judge Alesha Dixon and asked: 'Is that KSI's wife?' Stacey gently corrected him, saying: 'No, her name is Alesha.' The crew then informed Stacey that the next act would be arriving shortly, prompting her husband Joe to usher Rex away with the words: 'Let's go Rex. The next one is coming!'
The camera then panned to YouTube sensation and judge KSI, who turned to Alesha Dixon and confessed: 'I'm literally seeing everyone have kids and it's making me want one.' Alesha responded with maternal wisdom: 'Oh you will,' to which KSI replied: 'I know, I know, I know.' She advised him: 'Don't rush it. Enjoy your freedom!'
Golden Buzzer Moment and Judging Praise
The upcoming episode also features Stacey Solomon using her coveted Golden Buzzer, though the recipient remains undisclosed. In a sneak peek, Stacey can be seen with a huge smile on her face as she presses the button, clearly making one of the acts extremely happy.
Head judge Simon Cowell, when asked about Stacey's temporary replacement role, spoke warmly about her potential return: 'Why not? I love Stacey, she's been a great friend over the years. I remember her first audition on X Factor. I've seen what she's done with her career and I'm really happy for her, she's just a really nice person.'
Fellow Judges Applaud Stacey's Approach
Alesha Dixon praised Stacey's natural judging style: 'Stacey was adorable. She's so sweet, very natural, and I liked the way she spoke to contestants because she's always coming from a good place. She's a good person and she cares. If there was something she didn't like or didn't get, she would say, but she'd do it in that Stacey charm that she has.'
Amanda Holden added her compliments: 'She's so lovely and I think we've got quite a similar style of judging. She's warm, she's super funny, she has a great understanding of what it's like to be on the other side, because she obviously auditioned for The X Factor all those years ago. Even though she's smashing it in the real world now, she's very down to earth and doesn't have an ego.'
Stacey's Previous BGT Appearance and Reflections
This follows Stacey's recent judging debut where she swooned over topless dancers and humorously critiqued one performer's excessive tongue-poking. Speaking about her BGT experience on This Morning with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, Stacey reflected: 'I loved it. Do you know what's really funny about having that full circle moment, I could connect with the people on the stage, because it's not easy to put yourself forward in those situations.'
She continued: 'My whole career is thanks to the X Factor, and a show like Britain's Got Talent, where someone gave me the opportunity, gave me the chance to put myself out there. These shows are really close to my heart and to see other people coming up through those talent shows, even just enjoying the experience, whether it turns into something or not, it felt really special to be a part of.'
Stacey, who is mother to five children including Zachary and Leighton from previous relationships, also confessed to still experiencing performance nerves despite her television success: 'Every time I go out there, I'd just be so, every performance, I'd be so nervous.'
