TVTV NewsBritain's Got TalentBritain's Got Talent viewers were left utterly bewildered by KSI's Golden Buzzer act Mr Cherry during the live semi-final21:23, 23 May 2026Britain's Got Talent judge KSI issued a public apology to the nation during the competition's semi-final.‌Just eight acts remained in Saturday's (May 23) live episode, amongst them KSI's Golden Buzzer act Mr Cherry. While the stunt performer won over certain viewers during his audition, he lost the crowd entirely on the night.‌The star delivered an elaborate stunt routine, which involved smashing watermelons with his backside. He also stuffed a balloon into his shorts as a makeshift tail, reports the Daily Star.‌The performance left home viewers horrified, and KSI clearly felt accountable for handing Mr Cherry a fast-track to the semi-finals. Following the act, the YouTuber declared: "I'd like to apologise to the whole of the UK. I don't know what I've done."KSI continued: "Mr Cherry, I mean I love the energy. I love the pants with my face on it. I love that you were smashing watermelons, interesting. But in terms of the whole act, as a semi-finalist, maybe it wasn't the best."‌Fellow judge Amanda Holden delivered her own assessment, saying: "I mean you've got a very strong bum, but that's where it ends. Bottom line, it was pants."Simon Cowell then weighed in: "I thought it lacked a little polish tonight. It was like you'd drank a million cups of coffee and then decided to come out and sit on loads of watermelons."‌ITV viewers appeared equally bewildered as the judging panel, with many posting scathing opinions on X, formerly Twitter. One wrote: "Why are we forced to tolerate this utter b*****ks," while another raged: "WTF is this RUBBISH?? Sticking a balloon up his a**e??"Yet another viewer criticised: "I flat out HATED that. How the hell did he get through?." And a fourth added: "What a load of b******ks that was."Prior to his semi-final appearance, Mr Cherry had won over certain viewers. Earlier in the live broadcast, one enthusiastic fan posted: "Mr. Cherry is the only person who can save this show so far #BGT."Article continues belowWhile another expressed their backing, stating: "MR CHERRY ON BGT TONIGHT!!!!!
