KSI reveals he's been flooded with DMs from older ladies since appearing as a judge on Britain's Got Talent
KSI has revealed his role as a judge on Britain's Got Talent has earned him a legion of new older admirers.
The YouTube sensation, 31, bagged the position on the popular ITV Saturday night TV show earlier this year and his inclusion has certainly been a hit with fans.
But while KSI has been much-loved by younger generations for years, his decision to move into mainstream television has now also earned him the respect of an older age group.
He told The Sun: 'I have always had mature women sliding into my DMs but I'd say BGT has definitely sky-rocketed the DMs, and them recognising me more.'
In fact the increased adulation KSI has received from the new-found older section of his fan base even inspired the chorus of his new track, Catch Me If You Can.
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop.
After teasing the track for weeks on his social media accounts, KSI at last released his latest single on Thursday.
He raps: 'Million-dollar smile, baby that's the brand/ go and ask your mum, yeah she know who I am.'
And it seems fans could be treated to more music from the Prime owner, with him revealing that's sitting on a heap of unreleased tracks.
'I am always working on music, so I have a lot of songs I feel are a better fit for a season, or how I feel,' he said.
However the rapper's previous release titled Thick Of It, which came out in October 2024, was 'clowned' by supporters following its release - with Jack Whitehall even taking a jibe at the tune while presenting the BRITs.
KSI himself even joked that he 'couldn't believe' the song featuring Trippie Redd was nominated for Song of the Year.
'When I got the message I laughed,' he said on the red carpet in March.
'When I released the song I was getting clowned, people online were meme-ing the song saying, "what is this, this isn't good" blah blah blah.
'But people kept listening to it, people kept streaming it and as soon as I got that BRIT nomination it was the cherry on top.
'It put a smile to my face.'
Amid his various endeavours into music and television, KSI had been scheduled to step into the ring again in March to take on Dillon Danis in a Misfits boxing event.
However following a huge amount of back and forth trash talk online between the pair, KSI was forced to pull out of the bout just one week before fight night at the end of March.
The fighter claimed his body had 'given up' after weeks of illness.
But a couple of days later he was spotted in the VIP section of an Usher concert at the 02 arena in London, prompting a furious response from his opponent.
Sharing a clip of KSI, Danis wrote: 'You can't make this s*** up.
'@KSI faked the sniffles. He's a scared little b****. I was told he couldn't get out of bed, and he's out on the night of the fight? WTF.'
Despite the fight supposedly being postponed rather than cancelled, a new date has yet to be announced.

Matt Prior: I bought an Audi A2 for £500 – and it's brilliant
One of the things people love to say about the Audi A2 is that it was ahead of its time. It's the opinion people seem to hold most about the small Audi. And I get that: if you pulled the wraps from it today, it would still look modern. In October last year, Audi did just that, when it revealed the A2 E-tron concept restomod to celebrate the car's 25th anniversary, and it looked as fresh as a piglet. But if the A2 was 'ahead of its time', it must still be a long, long way ahead of its time, because more than a quarter of a century after it was launched, the world is not oversupplied with compact aluminium four-seaters that weigh less than 900kg and measure 3.8m long. No, instead the family car market is filled with very un-A2ish things: steel, heavy and crossovery. Influentially, and financially, the Audi A2 was a dead end. Audi sold just 176,000 of them globally over five years, at a time when Ford was selling 125,000 Focuses, in the UK alone, every year. The car that has come closest to following it, spiritually, was perhaps the BMW i3. BMW sold fewer than 25,000 of those a year too. And yet, and yet. What we once called Audi's 'nearly successful' A2 must have made a cultural impact because, believe me, people do like to talk about it. I've written about thousands of different cars over the years but my inbox has never known anything like the correspondence I've received since I bought an A2 in February. I've heard from the owners' club, talked with an owner who also has a McLaren F1, and heard from a guy who owns eight A2s. My car's previous owner was grateful I picked it up early, because he didn't want his mum to visit and see it was going. I still don't know enough about the A2, but I'm starting to see how it's adored. And it's easy to understand why.

I've lost 3.8 stone on Mounjaro but have had horrid side effects – hair loss & the ‘burning sensation' is just the start
A YOUNG woman has revealed that thanks to Mounjaro, she was able to drop down from over 14 stone to just 10 stone in 28 weeks. But despite shifting the weight, Chloe Mckernan, 32, who is currently on her 'glow up journey', has experienced a number of horrible side effects. 3 3 Not only has the brunette been battling hair loss and a sore scalp, but she's also been experiencing a strange 'burning sensation' too. Posting on social media, Chloe, who now has the 'confidence to wear shorts again', revealed that she has lost 3 stone 8 lbs after using Mounjaro, but experts and NHS medics warn about the dangers of taking such medications without a prescription. The young woman confirmed that as a result of taking Mounjaro, which is regarded by some as the King Kong of weight loss jabs, she has been accused of 'cheating' her weight loss. But she isn't bothered by what people say, as despite her side effects, she 'feels amazing'. Sun GP Dr Zoe Williams claimed that Mounjaro, which could soon be rolled out on the NHS, can save the lives of people with 'life-threatening levels of obesity '. But despite this, the NHS warned: 'Never take an anti-obesity medicine if it has not been prescribed to you. "These types of medicines may not be safe for you and can cause serious side effects.' In a recent clip shared online, Chloe revealed the side effects she has had from taking Mounjaro. She explained: 'Sometimes I feel dizzy when I stand up…always when I've not drunk enough water. 'I can eat most foods but some foods I used to love I can't eat…' Weight Loss Jabs - Pros vs Cons Not only this, but she also added: 'My scalp has been really sore recently…I assume this is due to hair loss… 'When I take my dose, the smell of food sometimes makes me sick.' And that's not all, as she also acknowledged: 'Sometimes my skin feels sore to touch…This is a common side effect for Mounjaro…it's almost like a burning sensation.' But despite the side effects, Chloe is 'so happy' she started her Mounjaro journey. She claimed that it hasn't all been negative, as she also now has 'increased energy', no longer battles 'food noise' and has been able to better 'understand portion control' since using the fat jabs. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines. Mounjaro users react Chloe's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ chlo_mckernan, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 500,500 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 8,846 likes, 341 comments and 624 saves. Numerous other Mounjaro users eagerly flocked to the comments, keen to share the side effects they have experienced whilst using fat jabs. One person said: 'I have sore skin!!!! And achy legs.' Another added: 'The coldness, I am constantly freezing.' A third commented: 'My period is the worst period I've ever had in my life.' Someone else explained: 'The only side effects I've had is being cold a lot and really bad sulphur burps.' Whilst another woman chimed in: 'I only started on Wednesday, I've been ill! Shivering, skin sore to touch, being physically sick, back stomach pains, lethargic, light headed….' Fatal consequences In addition to horrendous side effects, those debating whether to begin using Mounjaro should know that it can also have fatal consequences. The injections are licensed for patients with type 2 diabetes and are administered every seven days. They are also available to assist those who are clinically obese (with a Body Mass Index of 30 or over). The drugs, which have been widely regarded as 'fat jabs', can be prescribed by a practitioner - such as a doctor, nurse or a pharmacist-independent prescriber. But increasingly, we are seeing more and more people buying them through online pharmacies, without sufficient checks. Not only this, but recently, figures from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency revealed that fat jabs had been linked to 82 deaths across the UK.

The simple hack that'll get you a free breakfast from Lidl – the best part is that there's no minimum spend
WITH Brits continuing to count their pennies more than ever before, many are looking for ways on how to get by barely spending. From hunting down freebies, to spotting a hidden bargain or downloading apps for discounts, people are trying their best to not overspend. 4 4 4 Luckily, money saving experts are sharing their top tips on social media so that everyone can get by without having to scrape the coins. Chloe, who is known as ' chloesdealclub ' on TikTok, has recently shared a video showing how she manages to get a free breakfast from Lidl. And the best part about it? There's no minimum spend either. Speaking to her 48.3k followers, Chloe explained that customers just need to download the Lidl Plus app and create a new account. She advised to get someone else in your household that doesn't have one to do this if you have already got one. After downloading and signing up for the app, Chloe explained that you should receive three freebie coupons into your app. She showed that the coupons include a free Lidl tote bag, a bakery item, and fresh fruit. Chloe said: 'So go to Lidl and get a pastry and some fruit, or you could even get stuff to make avocado on toast. There's loads of options.' She added: 'You've got a free breakfast and a bag to carry it home in.' In the caption section, Chloe also explained that there's 'no minimum spend so you can get these freebies without buying anything else.' Five Lidl rosés you need this summer, according to a wine expert - a £6.99 buy is as light & crispy as £22 Whispering Angel The video received 78.5 views and 74 comments after four days of being shared on her account. Many wanted to share their excitement after hearing the news. One wrote: 'Got mine. Thank you for sharing.' A second added: 'Free strawberries! I'm going to get everyone in my house to download it!' Whilst a third said: 'It's true, I had also downloaded the Lidl app, from which I also got this shopping bag, muffins and many other things.' 4 Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff. Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
