KSI has been forced to apologise for an act described by fellow judge Amanda Holden as “rubbish” during Saturday (May 23) night’s live semi-final.<\/p>\n
Tonight’s semi-final began with a performance from the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Matilda The Musical.<\/p>\n
Eight more acts are set to take to the stage tonight, battling it out for a place in this year’s live final next Saturday (May 30):<\/p>\n
Baron & Vesper \u2013 Stunt act<\/p>\n
The Hawkstone Farmers Choir \u2013 Choir group<\/p>\n
KSI apologises for “rubbish” semi-final act<\/p>\n
The fifth BGT 2026 semi-final began with a performance from dancer Juan Carlos, followed by a magic act from Jake Banfield that had judges “lost for words”.<\/p>\n
But the third performance from Mr Cherry had KSI apologising, after awarding him a golden buzzer during the audition stages.<\/p>\n
Amanda Holden labelled his semi-final performance as “rubbish”, while Simon Cowell said it looked like he had drunk too much coffee before the show.<\/p>\n
Viewers agreed that Mr Cherry was “hard to watch”.<\/p>\n
One person, posting on Instagram, said: “I\u2019ve never been so clueless about an act before.<\/p>\n
“I wasn\u2019t sure whether I liked his audition or not, and after tonight\u2019s performance, I\u2019ve decided that I don\u2019t like the act.<\/p>\n
“That was genuinely hard to watch. I don\u2019t know what KSI was thinking hitting his golden buzzer for him! At least he apologised to the nation.”<\/p>\n
