Sky Sports commentator left speechless by KSI's X-rated comment live on air
KSI stunned Sky Sports commentator Brandon Smith and viewers alike with his X-rated joke during the latest action from the Baller League. The well-known social media star, singer and boxer has been infiltrating many mainstream spaces as of late, appearing at BBC Radio One's Big Weekend and also guest-judging on Britain's Got Talent.
He also owns several popular companies, including Misfits Boxing, Prime Hydration and Lunchly, alongside fellow entrepreneur Logan Paul. And he balances those commitments with his duties as president of the UK version of the Baller League.
The 31-year-old was in attendance once again at the Copper Box Arena in London on Monday, taking up his usual position in the commentary booth. It was during the match between M7 FC and SDS that he left fellow microphone man Smith speechless with his lewd joke that was caught live on air.
When discussing the league table, Smith said: "Well, that table is looking very tight." Murmuring in agreement, KSI thought on the spot and quipped back with: "Tighter than a nun?"
This piece of blue comedy was received with an air of awkwardness by Smith, who stayed silent for a solid 20 seconds while KSI could be heard laughing in the background at the reaction - or lack thereof - to his joke.
Smith then continued commentating on the tied game between M7 FC and SDS without acknowledging KSI's comment, much to the influencer's joy.
The indoor six-a-side football competition is currently in its debut season in the UK. It originated in Germany last year and is endorsed by former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich defender Mats Hummels and ex- Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski.
KSI is the president of the UK edition of the Baller League, with British influencers and footballers appearing at the competition to coach various teams.
Just some of the famous faces involved include Chelsea icon John Terry, The Rest Is Football podcast trio Gary Lineker, Micah Richards and Alan Shearer, Twitch streamer AngryGinge, Arsenal star Chloe Kelly and British rapper Dave.
The Baller League will continue next week with the final matchday before the following Monday's final four day to conclude the tournament. All fixtures are available live on Sky Sports.

Premier League Darts to be staged in FIFTH country as Barry Hearn reveals venue
Having already been staged in the UK, Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands, Premier League Darts will head to a fifth country for the 2026 edition of the tournament Premier League Darts will head to Belgium next year after Barry Hearn confirmed a fifth host country. PDC president Hearn has revealed that Antwerp is being added to the fixture list for 2026. This year's tournament saw the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany play host to stars like Luke Littler and Luke Humphries. But Belgium has been growing in darting stature, with Belgian Open now on the European Tour and the Flanders Trophy being added to the calendar in 2024. Players have enjoyed themselves and praised the Belgian crowd's behaviour. Sell-out venues have seen the demand for a spot on the Premier League fixture list grow. Now their place confirmed. The news was announced as Humphries beat defending champion Littler 11-8 in Thursday's final at the O2 Arena. Former Winmau World Masters champion Erik Clarys, who's now a commentator for Belgian broadcaster VTM, said: "I honestly didn't see this coming. But it shows just how popular darts has become in our country. I'm sure it's going to be a spectacular night." Humphries will be the player defending the title, having come from 3-0 down to beat 18-year-old Littler. Cool Hand became only the fourth player to complete darts' Triple Crown. Previously, only Gary Anderson, Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen had won the World Championship, World Matchplay and the Premier League. "That one means the world to me. That's what I was missing. I have done it now," Humphries beamed. "If I don't win another title, I'm happy because I've done the three hardest ones to do. I've joined an exclusive group of me, Gary Anderson, Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen. "To Phil Taylor, thank you so much. He has given me so much support. He has given me a lot of advice and an extra boost tonight. If he's watching, then thank you. I'm really happy with that win. Which other country should Premier League Darts be held? Give us your pick in the comments section. "I can retire now - I'm done! I want to search for more. This makes me want to be a better player. I've won eight major titles. Now it's important to finish the end of the season well. "It wasn't our best game. We struggled. I love Luke to bits. He's one of my best mates on tour. He wasn't at his best. It was hard. We struggled to cope with the conditions." Littler will be keen to bounce back in 2026, admitting to Sky Sports: "I had a little bit of a thing after the game - nobody likes losing - but I'm fine. I am glad to say the Premier League is over - it's been a tough 17 weeks. Happy it's over, and I came runner-up, but I will be back next year."

Luke Evans' life off-screen from private relationship to childhood
Luke Evans, a well-known figure in the film industry, has graced many hit films, from Fast and Furious to The Hobbit. The 46-year-old Welsh actor and singer is no stranger to the stage, having launched his career in the West End, and he's also appeared in several TV series, including Nine Perfect Strangers. His latest television appearance offers something different, as Luke is set to appear on Alison Hammond's Big Weekend, where viewers will have the opportunity to see him spend some time with the TV presenter. Let's delve into Luke's life off-camera, from his family to his current partner.... Luke's early years Luke was born on 15 April 1979 in Pontypool. He was raised in Aberbargoed by his parents, Yvonne and David Evans. Luke was brought up as a Jehovah's Witness. However, he chose to leave the religion when he was 16 years old and left school, reports Wales Online. At the age of 17, he moved to Cardiff and began studying with singing coach Louise Ryan. Eventually, he secured a scholarship to London Studio Centre and graduated in 2000. What has Luke starred in? After graduation, Luke started starring in West End productions. His appearances include La Cava, Taboo, Rent, Avenue Q, and Miss Saigon. Luke's career began with appearances in numerous fringe shows in London and Edinburgh, before he secured his breakout role in the play Small Change in 2008. His performance caught the eye of film casting directors and talent agencies, leading to his first film audition at the ripe age of 30. His first film role was in 2009, when he portrayed Apollo in Clash of the Titans. This marked the beginning of his film career, and he has since starred in films such as Fast and Furious 6, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Girl on the Train, Pinocchio, and Scrooge: A Christmas Carol. He has also appeared on the small screen in TV series such as Nine Perfect Strangers, The Alienist, The Way, and Echo 3. Luke's dating life As for his personal life, Luke is openly gay and has spoken candidly about coming out to his parents, who are practising Jehovah's Witnesses, when he was 19. "We've been through a lot together. What we've done is we've come through two very different journeys in life where love has risen above everything," he shared in a previous interview with BBC Radio Wales. "Respect, love, and understanding, and that's what we have had to have with each other, because we've all chosen different paths, but it doesn't mean we can't love each other and be in each other's lives. I respect them. They respect me." While he generally keeps his personal life under wraps, it is known that Luke previously dated model and actor Jon Kortajarena, although they parted ways in 2016. Who is Luke's partner? Luke has been in a relationship with Fran Tomas since 2021, and they took their romance public in 2022. Fran, who has a background in project management for both residential and commercial projects, is currently the Chief Financial Officer of BDXY Studio. According to his LinkedIn profile, this fashion and lifestyle brand was co-founded alongside Luke and Christopher Brown. In an interview with Out Magazine, Luke previously spoke glowingly of his partner: "We're best friends. We travel together. We work together, we work on the brand together. And we're building a life together. We're happy, and I'm very grateful that I've met that person."

11 years on, I'm still mourning comedy legend Rik Mayall
It's been almost exactly 11 years since the death of inimitable comedy genius Rik Mayall. 11 long years (if you read that in Richie's voice, you're my people). I'm not over it. In fact, over a decade on, I miss Rik's irreverent humour more than ever – but I'm so honoured to be a part of the inaugural Rik Mayall Comedy Festival this weekend. In interviews after his recovery from a near-fatal quad bike accident in April 1998, Rik Mayall revealed that his family had dubbed that day 'Crap Thursday'. The crash happened the day before Good Friday, and Rik had remained in a coma until Easter Monday. He often joked that he 'beat Jesus' by being dead five days before coming back to life. Well, June 9, 2014 was definitely 'S**t Monday'. S**tter than the s**ttiest of s**t-smeared s**tty s**t Mondays. I was travelling home from a hen-do and had no idea how bad my hangover was about to get. Upon reading that Rik Mayall had died of a sudden heart attack, I burst into tears and felt sorrow in a way I hadn't thought possible from a celebrity death. Such is my love of 'The Rik', texts started to ping in from friends reassuring that they were thinking about me. Of course, my thoughts were with Rik's friends and family; his wife Barbara and three children Rosie, Sid, and Bonnie. In the years since Rik died, I've lost my own beloved mum and dad – and, while I must not diminish the insurmountable devastation felt when your nearest and dearest are snatched from this earth, the pain of Rik's untimely death at age 56 deeply affected me. British comedy had lost an irreplaceable master of the craft. I've been a fan of Rik Mayall's work for as long as I can remember. Aged seven, Grim Tales was a series of adapted Brothers Grimm stories that Rik brought to life with such hysterical flair, my young mind was indelibly transformed. Soon, Drop Dead Fred became my favourite film with repeated viewings too numerous to count – it remains my go to comfort watch. Then Bottom exploded onto TV screens in 1991. Yes, aged eight, I was too young to be watching the show but you couldn't have stopped me and my older brother from tuning in to the live-action cartoon depicting Richie and Eddie's hilariously depraved existence. It was like nothing we had ever seen before, or since. Bottom formed my funny bone into the best possible shape with its stupendous slapstick, witty wordplay and naughty nob gags – it's comedy dynamite. To say I love it is an understatement. In the years since Rik died, I've been inspired to work in comedy and study Bottom quite a lot ('while I'm alone in the house'). I've waxed lyrical about why it's the best British sitcom, I co-host a podcast Talking Bottom and have even co-authored a Bottom book, due to be published by Unbound on July 3. Now, this weekend sees The Rik Mayall Comedy Festival launch for the first time in Droitwich Spa – Rik's hometown. This brand new comedy festival being named after the inimitable genius of Rik Mayall is a fitting way to honour the man who gifted the world so much laughter. I am beyond honoured to be a tiny part of the festival, as I'll be appearing at the Norbury Theatre with a live version of my podcast Talking Bottom – I'll have the pleasure of interviewing Bottom's incredibly talented Director and Producer, Ed Bye. I plan to see as many of the other comedy shows as possible while I'm there. Every smile on every face will be gathered there thanks to a love of Rik Mayall, and, of course, the hard work of the organisers. Rik Mayall is arguably (and fight you about it, I will) the finest comic actor of his generation. From his early days in the 1980s, forming one half of an iconic partnership with Adrian Edmondson in The Dangerous Brothers, Rik took the comedy world by storm. Following their anarchic live performances at The Comic Strip club, Rik co-created and starred in The Young Ones and changed the face of British comedy in its wake. Rik went on to steal the show in sitcoms including Filthy Rich & Catflap, The New Statesman, Blackadder, Believe Nothing and Man Down. In sharp contrast to the public persona Rik cultivated – an effervescently confident ego-maniac – at his core, he struck me as someone humble. Grateful to be sharing laughter. As far as I'm concerned, it's the most wonderful gift you can bestow on your fellow humans, and Rik dished it out in custardy pants-filled bucketloads. It's often said that you shouldn't meet your heroes but I had the honour of meeting Rik on several occasions (one of the many 'ordinaries' he nicknamed fans with mocking affection), and he never disappointed. Rik was generous with his time. He made you feel special, he'd embrace you in a life-affirming hug, if female fans offered him their breasts to sign (consent was never in question), he'd gladly oblige while flashing his trademark pervy grin. He'd fall to his knees pretending to give male fans fellatio – anything for the giggle, especially when there was a camera around. Some may interpret these exchanges as overtly exhibitionist, sexual, inappropriate… but that was the point. Rik's behaviour was so gleefully outrageous and welcomed in a way that's hard to explain to anyone who didn't encounter it first-hand. Rik possessed a unique warmth of character. An endlessly playful energy exuded from him – it was infectious. All-consuming. Awe-inspiring. Addictive. Fans still feel this connection, even without having met him, as it's present in his performances. We're all invited in on the joke of his faux grandiosity. It's glorious. On June 9, 2014, grief-stricken fans poured out their love via social media – tributes to Rik Mayall 'the man, the myth, the legend' were, quite rightly, everywhere. In the months that followed, a petition for a commemorative bench in Hammersmith, located near the spot from the iconic opening credits to Bottom, was actioned. I attended the bench unveiling in November 2014 and it was healing to share the loss with fellow fans. Humour helps heal the darkest of situations. It builds memories, forms bonds and connects you on a level that seeps deep into your bones. I shared many Rik inspired laughs with my parents over the years. When my mum was ill in bed in her final days fighting cancer, I remember walking through our front door and hearing her shout the classic Richie line 'I'm in the cupbooooard' from her bedroom. We shrieked with laughter, all thanks to Rik's comedy shared in years gone by. In the months after Mum died, I took my dad on a trip to Rik's bench in Hammersmith. While there, I promptly pretended to punch him in the nether regions. I've hundreds of photos with Dad, but it's an image I especially cherish now he's sadly gone, too. You rarely have a chance to take a picture so hilariously inappropriate with your own father. I have my parents and Rik to thank for my wicked sense of humour. Rik may no longer be here but his legacy endures. New generations of comedy fans are discovering his work and that gives me comfort. It gives me hope for the future. The Young Ones fans know there's solace to be taken from the fact Rik will never truly be dead when we still have his (poems) comedy. June 9 may be the anniversary of S**t Monday but it has become a date on which fans around the world will be sharing Rik clips, memes, happy memories of meeting the comedy legend, witty letters he sent, arrange to meet each other at the bench and raise a glass to toast his memory. More Trending As such, every year, I now find myself looking forward to seeing 'Rik Mayall' trending on socials. The sadness turns to joy. It's important to mark this milestone by celebrating Rik's humour – today and always. So no, I'm still not 'over' Rik's death, I never will be… I never want to be. The best way to honour The Rik Mayall is to share a laugh every chance we get. Do you have a story you'd like to share? Get in touch by emailing Share your views in the comments below.
