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.

Winning Britain's Got Talent isn't about £250,000 prize, says The Blackouts
Swiss dance group The Blackouts say that winning the £250,000 prize in Britain's Got Talent's final on Saturday isn't the ultimate goal for them. Dancer and team manager Elias Schneider tells Yahoo UK: "It's not about winning for the money [on Britain's Got Talent]. It would mean the world to us if we could win Britain's Got Talent — performing in front of the Royal Family." But that doesn't mean they're not totally uninterested in the money. Schneider quickly adds: "We would invest the money in new shows, bigger shows, and maybe go on a live tour in the UK." The winners of BGT 2025 not only get £250,000 but they also get an enviable spot on The Royal Variety Performance Show where they perform in front of the King and Queen. Watch The Blackouts performing on Britain's Got Talent In the BGT final the group will once again show off their show dancing in LED suits. They are no stranger to talent shows, having previously got to the final of Switzerland's Got Talent in 2016 and Germany's Das Supertalent in 2024. Despite their wealth of experience on TV, not everything ran smoothly for the group in the live semi-final as they were hit with a setback behind the scenes. Britain's Got Talent was brought to a halt during the live semi-final when The Blackouts suffered a technical glitch. "It was terrifying," Schneider remembers. The Blackouts had their performance brought forward as Teddy Magic, eight, pulled out last minute (and later quit the talent show). Nerves were at an all time high for the group but Schneider reveals they managed to put on an incredible light show. He says: "In the semi finals, we had to go on stage earlier than planned because of the magician Teddy Magic who couldn't go on stage. Everything was really stressful behind the scenes. We weren't ready when we should have been. "It made it just even more stressful for us backstage, but in the end we managed everything, went out on stage and had a great time. This won't happen for sure again. We hope in the final the timeline will stay the same like in rehearsals. So it will not be a problem for us and we're ready for the final." "We were so nervous in the beginning," he adds. "We weren't ready. It was so stressful that all the nervousness went, so we just managed everything and you didn't have any more time to get nervous, so that was like yeah, the good thing about it." The Blackouts are sworn to secrecy with their plans for their final performance but dancer and show creative Raphael Broder did spill a few secrets. "What you're allowed to know is that it's going to be as always, bigger, with a lot of storytelling and with a lot of surprises for sure, that's all we can tell by now," he says. "Of course we have a pile of ideas that we always wanted to use, and what better way to do it on Britain's Got Talent? So, now we're developing those ideas and they're coming up amazingly." Before the group could start practicing their moves, Broder explains how the team had to put together the lights on the computer. "It's a lot of working in front of the computer, tweaking things here and there," he says, "before we get into the rehearsals, and putting all the technical stuff with the dancing." The majority of the work for their performance goes into the programming and choreographing, rather than learning the dance moves. With just days until the final, The Blackouts team have said the ITV show has changed their lives forever. Schneider says: "[Britain's Got Talent has changed our lives] a lot. Britain's Got Talent is the greatest thing ever we have done. It means really a lot to us and it's really nice to be in the UK. The audience and the people are so nice and we feel really welcomed there. And it's just amazing and for sure, life-changing because we have got a lot of requests for our shows worldwide." Britain's Got Talent's final airs on ITV1 at 7pm on Saturday, 31 May.

Simon Cowell's fiancée says BGT's Bruno Tonioli 'like a godfather' to son Eric
Simon Cowell's fiancée, Lauren Silverman, has struck up a close friendship with Britain's Got Talent star, Bruno Tonioli, who joined Simon on the judging panel of the ITV talent show two years ago Simon Cowell's fiancée Lauren Silverman has given a rare interview about their son Eric, revealing that Britain's Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli is 'like a godfather' to the 11-year-old. The former Strictly Come Dancing star joined Simon on the judging panel of the ITV talent show two years and has since struck up a close friendship with his family. Opening about the friendship while enjoying the blooms at the Chelsea Flower Show last week, Lauren praised Bruno for accompanying her to the annual event in SW3, joking: "Simon never goes anywhere". She also revealed how much Eric, who is Simon's only child, loves being around the Italian star as she revealed the 11-year-old calls him "Uncle Bruno". When asked if Bruno was a like godfather to Eric, she told Closer magazine: "Yes definitely. He's Uncle Bruno to us. Eric loves him." Being the only child of a multi-millionaire music mogul, fans would be forgiven for thinking Eric may be a tad spoilt. However, Bruno insisted this was not the case, saying: "He is not spoiled at all, actually. He is a very, very, very well brought up kid." Bruno is often invited to visit Simon and his fiancée at their lavish summer retreat in the Cotswolds, for a 'spot of yoga or clay pigeon shooting'. Victoria and David Beckham also have a palatial pile in the area. However, when asked if they spend much time with the Beckhams, Lauren said: "They're busy people. We kind of keep ourselves to ourselves." Bruno added: "It's good to keep what's going on in your private life very separate. Nobody knows what's going on and I like it that way. We don't even talk about work we just chill." Lauren says that her son Eric and Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon 's children have 'grown up together' behind the scenes on BGT, saying there's a nice "family vibe". Shedding light on the award-winning show, she said: 'All of the kids they've grown up together. It's a nice family vibe with us all there. It's lovely." Lauren and Simon welcomed their Eric on Valentine's Day in 2014, with the SyCo star last year revealing how much he had changed his life. Speaking to OK! magazine following the Together For Short Lives annual gala, Simon revealed he had toured a potential new school for his son, saying: "It was great fun, but it reminded me of my own school days. I would get that Sunday night feeling at 7pm – what excuse could I come up with for the following day to avoid it? I'd try every trick in the book. Fortunately, Eric's not like that; we're in a good place with him." Hinting that he may have a music career ahead of him, he continued: "He has started taking [drum] lessons and we have bought him a kit. He has great timing and reads music and it's brilliant watching him play in his bedroom. He looks like a little rock star. Although thank God it's not the violin! That would have been a no-no." Eric, meanwhile, who often visits the set of BGT, is said to have "a tip" regarding the winner of the much-loved talent show, which culminates in a star-studded finale on Saturday. When asked if he had an idea who she be crowned the winner, proud mum, Lauren, teased: "I'm sure he does!"
