They are calling upon show boss Simon Cowell to sack Bruno Tonioli from his role.
Bruno is currently in his third year as a judge on the show but for some they fear his time is up - and they've already hand-picked his replacement.
They have demanded that KSI - who appeared throughout the auditions covering for both Bruno and Simon Cowell - makes a comeback to the panel for good.
Taking to X this weekend, one fan penned online: "Could we have @KSI back as a judge please. He's much better than Bruno "it's all about me" Tonioli."
Another added: "Anyone want Bruno replaced with KSI permanently or just me? Bloke does my absolute [head in]."
A third went on to say: "Hope KSI returns next week."
Before a fourth penned: "Was really hoping Simon would have fired Bruno and brought in KSI for the remaining live shows."
Whilst it does not appear that Bruno will be going anywhere, fans of KSI look set to be in for a treat later in the series.
Last week, show hosts Ant and Dec confirmed that he would be appearing on the programme's live episodes later in the run.
Many were hoping to see him last night when his Golden Buzzer act Stacey Leadbeatter performed and managed to win the public vote.
Britain's Got Talent embroiled in yet another FIX row as fans are left furious over semi-final result
The YouTube star and boxer appeared in every episode of the audition stages.
The latest episode of BGT saw fans accusing the programme of being fixed after hitting out at the final result.
Amid tough competition, it was revealed that Stacey Leadbeater had won the most votes from the public whist child rocker Olly Pearson advanced after getting Simon Cowell's live golden buzzer.
Stacey found themselves in the top three alongside Will Burns and Cheer Re Mans.
But some fans felt the show's outcome was rigged with many raging at the acts put through.
One furious fan said online: "ALWAYS last act people see! Only act that gets through!! Fix every time."
Another added: "This pile of rubbish needs to be renamed Britain's Got the Fix Factor, because there is NO WAY tonight's voting was accurate. No way"
A third penned: "Honestly two of the worst acts went through, we want entertainment!"

BBC Strictly Come Dancing confirms YouTube star as sixth contestant
Strictly Come Dancing has confirmed YouTube star George Clarke as the sixth contestant to join the 2025 line-up of the BBC dance show. Strictly Come Dancing has announced that popular YouTuber George Clarke will be joining the 2025 series line-up. He is the sixth contestant to be revealed this year, following the announcement of EastEnders' Balvinder Sopal as a participant on Good Morning Britain earlier today. The digital influencer, who boasts a following of 678k on Instagram, is renowned for his podcast T he Useless Hotline with Max Balegde. He has also amassed millions of followers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram through his thriving online career. "Never thought I'd say this... but I'm doing Strictly! Honestly, I've got no idea what I'm doing but I'm excited to get stuck in ... and potentially fall over a fair bit," George expressed his excitement about joining the hit show. This follows rumours about all the celebrities speculated to be participating in BBC's Strictly Come Dancing 2025. While speaking on Radio 1, George humorously remarked: "I feel like a lot of people will be saying who?" He admitted that it "still doesn't feel real". George then revealed to hosts Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston that he had been keeping this secret for approximately 2-3 months - and even had to postpone his marathon plans for the show, reports the Mirror. With the new series of Strictly soon to commence on BBC One, the line-up reveal is underway, with the 2025 stars being gradually unveiled throughout the week. It kicked off with Gladiators' Harry Aikines-Aryeetey announcing his participation on CBBC's Newsround on Monday. Later that evening, The One Show played host to three Strictly stars on its sofa - Love Island victor Dani Dyer, Doctor Who's Alex Kingston and footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Speaking on The One Show last night, Dani expressed that Strictly will be "the second most amazing thing" she'll have accomplished this year, following her summer wedding to footballer Jarred Bowen. "I feel very, very blessed and cannot wait to get my dancing shoes on," she shared. Meanwhile, ex-premiership player turned football manager Jimmy remarked: "Swapping the pitch for the ballroom is certainly not something I've done before but I'm looking forward to tackling a fun challenge! Bring on a new type of footwork, with hopefully no own goals." Earlier in the week, Strictly's fresh professional dancer Julian Caillon admitted that he once orchestrated a row on the show's Australian version to create more drama. "Reality TV is not necessarily what you think," he revealed on the podcast Try with Alex. "A massive aspect of reality TV is not really real. I remember in one episode of Dancing With The Stars, one of my celebrities was late to rehearsals and the producers were asking me to go around and pretend that I was frustrated." The lead-up to Strictly has been filled with drama, as the show is said to be investigating allegations that two of its stars have used cocaine. An insider revealed to The Sun after the news broke: "The BBC is taking the allegations really seriously. Bosses are aware of the two stars in question and have a duty of care to make sure they're OK." They further stated: "As per BBC policy, the option of specialised professional support is on the table and will be offered. While drug testing won't happen on the main show, bosses are considering bringing in random checks for the tour next year."
