Britain’s Got Talent viewers have slammed the show after KSI’s brother pulled a prank on him in a fake audition.

The long-running ITV show returned for another lot of auditions on Saturday night (March 9) in a bid to find the UK’s next big star.

Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon, and guest judge KSI, were on hand to share their thoughts on the contestants.

However, when it was time for the creepy act The Tormentor to show off their talent, things took an unexpected turn.

Britain’s Got Talent judge pranked by brother

On Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday (April 5) viewers were introduced to The Tormentor, a masked person dressed all in black.

Kicking off his act, The Tormentor recruited the help of KSI and called him up onto the stage. There, the figure teased KSI about his love life.

Knowing KSI’s biggest fear is bugs, The Tormentor brought over a box containing insects – causing the singer to beg him to stop.

The act then blindfolded KSI – before getting out a feather to show the audience. He then started tickling KSI who pleaded with him to stop
