The Britain’s Got Talent auditions returned to the Winter Gardens in Blackpool this week with hopefuls from across Lancashire and the north west queuing in the rain to impress the judges.
This year the judging lineup has remained the same with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli at the helm.
However, Bruno has had to take some time off which means there is a guest judge in the shape of boxer and musician KSI during the Blackpool auditions.
Obviously by way of making KSI feel at home, veteran BGT judge Amanda pulled a prank on the newbie judge whilst in Blackpool which she shared on her Instagram page.
In a video posted to her 2.3 million followers, 31-year-old KSI can be seen slumbering away on a chair in the dressing room whilst Amanda, 53, perches next to him and films the pair of them as she leans in and pulls faces at him.
Someone out of shot then passes Amanda a Prime bottle – the sports drink that KSI launched with fellow internet personality Logan Paul.
The camera angle then switches to Amanda’s own phone as she says in a robotic customer service voice: “Prime- it keeps you awake all day.”
KSI wakes up in a dazed shock in the middle of Amanda’s line and goes “ahh” in a sleepy tone as people can be heard laughing around them.
