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.

These are the acts in the final of Britain's Got Talent 2025
These are the acts in the final of Britain's Got Talent 2025 Who are the 10 acts that are battling it out to become the winners of Britain's Got Talent 2025 Jasmine Rice won Bruno Tonioli's Golden Buzzer and is on her way to this weekend's grand final. (Image: Tom Dymond for BGT ) We are just days away from the final of Britain's Got Talent 2025 and after three months of auditions and semi finals the line up has been announced. This year's judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and guest judge KSI have had their work cut out for them this year as countless acts have competed to earn their spot in the final on Saturday, May 31. The winner of the competition will receive a cash prize of £250,000, the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance, the title of Britain's Got Talent Winner 2025 and also they will have major bragging rights. From magicians to dancers, this year's final definitely has variety. So, who has qualified for the final? For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Saturday's grand final will feature semi final golden buzzer winner, The Blackouts, Olly Pearson, Jasmine Rice, Joseph Charm and the most recent Harry Moulding, who received a golden buzzer from guest judge KSI. The semi final public vote winners who will be competing in this weekend's final are Vinnie McKee, Stacey Leadbeatter, Ping Pong Pang, Hear Our Voice and nine-year-old dancer Binita. Content cannot be displayed without consent Apparently, this year's competition is incredible close as very little separates the top two favourite acts, which are the Hear Our Voice choir and The Blackouts. Betfred's Kayley Cornelius said: "Looking at the current odds, it's only a matter of percentages separating the top two favourite acts, suggesting it's going to be a really tight race to see who is crowned this year's winner. At 15/8, Hear Our Voice are just clinging on to the favourite spot, but only just. Telling their emotional story through the power of song, their harmonies have struck a strong chord with viewers at home, and the emotional vote could ultimately sway things in their favour. "However, it's worth noting that up until this week, The Blackouts were the unwavering favourites in the betting markets, and now perched just behind at 2/1, a strong performance on Saturday night could still see them walk away as winners!" Last week's semi final saw the return of guest judge KSI, making him the fifth judge in the last of the semi finals. However the YouTuber faced criticism after hitting the Golden Buzzer for magician Harry Moulding. Harry's act took an unexpected turn as it ended with a touching proposal, with an audience member being asked the big question in front of judges and live audience. The moment prompted KSI to grant him a fast pass to the final with the coveted Golden Buzzer. This moment, however, was followed by nine year old dancing sensation Binita Chetry, whose performance captivated the nation. Article continues below Viewers voiced their displeasure on social media with one tweeting their frustration that Binita didn't receive the Golden Buzzer: "Really p***es me off thst KSI would use his golden buzzer on a TALENTLESS completely staged act instead of on a 9 year old girl with a genuine gift #bgt."

Britain's Got Talent TikTok stars who got engaged during live semifinals hit back at ‘fix' rumours
TIKTOK stars who got engaged during Britain's Got Talent's live semifinals have hit back at 'fix' rumours. It came as the last remaining semi-finalists performed for a place in next week's final. 4 4 4 Viewers called out a "fix" as Harry Moulding pulled off an elaborate wedding proposal - resulting in a Golden Buzzer from KSI. Not all viewers were convinced of the moment's authenticity - and shared their thoughts online. Jess, who was proposed to, is a TikTok star with more than 80,000 followers on the platform. A fan wrote under one of her recent posts: "Hope you're ok after the backlash. "Hope you both know the general public just hate on everything." To which Jess replied: "Some comments have really made me laugh. I was in on my own proposal apparently, madness. "I'm in a complete bubble of shock and happiness and nothing can bring me down from cloud 9." A pre-recorded VT in Paris saw Harry Moulding predict a proposal - and he met another lad named Harry. Jess - the other Harry's girlfriend - was sat in the BGT audience and was "randomly" chosen to get up on stage and play the pre-recorded video. Her partner then appeared on stage in the Hammersmith auditorium andgot down on one knee. Britain's Got Talent fix row erupts as magic act is called 'biggest set up ever' after live marriage proposal Jess was left in tears as she said 'yes', leaving the judges and the presenters on their feet. But people at home were very suspicious over the "trick" and branded it a "set up". One said: "It was very obvious that the fiancee was in on the trick. He did not bring in an engagement ring randomly. So this seat number was forced. "Was Jessie also in on it? I'd like to believe she was set up for a romantic surprise, but she specified Paris, so I think she was a plant. The other seat numbers appear to also be plants." Another wrote: "There were no tricks in that performance, every single aspect was clearly staged, no talent or skill involved in any of it. "It was a complete set up by the show pretending to be an original act from a magician. Britain's Got Talent's biggest 'fix' rows Britain's Got Talent has been plagued with 'fix' rows over the years. How many of these do you remember? Jasmine Elcock - 2016: Teenage singer Jasmine Elcock stunned the nation with her version of Cher's Believe. But it then transpired she had already performed professionally in London's West End. Jasmine, 14, admitted: "I've performed in Annie in the West End at about the age of nine or 10, but I really get nervous." IrShad Shaikh - 2017: BGT fans were left questioning the rule book when IrShad Shaikh auditioned. He got four red buzzers from the judges, which would usually mean an instant dismissal. Yet in a strange turn of events, they let him continue with his put him through to the next round. Colin Thackery - 2019: Elderly war veteran Colin won BGT in 2019, but there was an outcry over the final. He warbled his place to win with a version of We'll Meet Again but fans were furious that escapologist Jonathan Goodwin didn't even rank in the top three. Viewers felt Jonathan - who almost suffocated while being buried alive in a gravel pit - should have won. Axel Blake - 2022: Comedian Axel Blake was given a Golden Buzzer in 2022 after making the judges laugh. But fans were fuming when they discovered Axel already had a show on worldwide streaming platform Amazon Prime. Despite this, Axel still went on to win the series. Taryn Charles - 2024: Singer Taryn Charles is one of this year's hopefuls lucky enough to receive the Golden Buzzer. Bruno Tonilio put her straight through to the semi-finals following her performance of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin, but it has now come to light that she is no stranger to TV. Viewers recognised Taryn from an episode of ITV1's Starstruck, where she impersonated Whitney Houston for judges Olly Murs, Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight. "I know the show takes the p*** a lot but come on, that was complete b******s." It comes as another BGT star fuelled fix claims after suggesting he was told what to perform in the semi-final. Meanwhile, fans thought another act should have received KSI 's Golden Buzzer instead of Harry Moulding. Britain's Got Talent airs on ITV1 and ITVX. 4

Is KSI fighting in Derby alongside Darren Till?
This weekend will see a boxing match between two former UFC stars and Darren Till and Darren Stewart meet at Vaillant Live in Derby. Despite both coming to the ring with MMA backgrounds, the match will be fought within boxing rules. It will be Till's second boxing match, after a debut in January against Anthony Taylor, and Stewart's debut. The event is being held and promoted by Misfits Boxing under its X Series. The company's CEO, known as KSI, has his own boxing background. The influencer/YouTuber/musician has had two professional bouts, according to BoxRec, one against fellow celebrity Logan Paul in 2019 and a second in 2023 against boxer Tommy Fury. Other places put his record differently, recording a ledger of 5-1-1 (4) against Tommy Fury, Joe Fournier, Thomas Oliveira, Luis Alcarez Pineda, Brandon 'Swarmz' Scott, and Logan Paul – twice. This weekend, however, the man known as 'KSI' will not be fighting. That has not stopped him from appearing on a 'hit list' of fighters that the headlining Darren Till has said he would like to face. Speaking to Bloody Elbow, Till said that he would like to fight Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, Mike Perry, and KSI. Paul and KSI, Till said, are the big-money fights that he is interested in. More recently, KSI was set to face Dillon Danis in a bout to be held at the Manchester Arena on 21 March. That was cancelled after KSI fell ill. No date so far has been set for a rescheduled event, although a Tweet on 4 April from Misfits Boxing strongly suggested that the entire event had been cancelled. A YouTube video two days later from KSI strongly suggested that he was moving towards retirement from boxing, saying that the 'stress' of running multiple companies, including Misfits Boxing, had 'aged' him. Moving forward to this week, and KSI has remained quiet on any plans to face Till, only posting on X re: Till-Stewart: 'Big fight. Expect fireworks.'
