(Image: (Image: ITV) ) Over the course of this year's Britain's Got Talent's live shows we have seen some great guest performances. This includes past winners like Sydnie Christmas and Diversity, as well as performances from the cast of West End musicals like Oliver and Hercules. However, they have announced a big name in the world of music and a well-known face from BGT. The talent competition announced the special guest on Instagram, saying "HE'S BACK!!!", alongside a boxing glove and music note emoji. They announced their surprise guest performance will be from YouTube, rapper and part-time boxer KSI. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . The performer was a guest judge during the audition stage of this year's series of the TV talent show. In fact he used his golden buzzer to send singer Stacey Leadbeatter straight through to the semi finals, and now she is progressing to the grand final this weekend. Fans have shared their excitement on social media, with one person saying "Omggggg yessssss!!!!" Another added: "That's awesome, can't wait to watch our KSI do his thing." One fan shared that they hoped a different judge had performed instead. They said: "I NEED TO HEAR @aleshaofficial SO BADD" Content cannot be displayed without consent Joining Stacey Leadbeatter in Saturday's grand final will be semi final golden buzzer winners, 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, Ping Pong Pang, Hear Our Voice and nine-year-old dancer Binita. Content cannot be displayed without consent However, last week's semi final saw the return of KSI as a guest judge, making him the fifth judge in the last of the semi finals. The YouTuber faced criticism after hitting the Golden Buzzer for magician Harry Moulding, after his 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. 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."
