KSI - real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji - is occupying Bruno Tonioli's seat, reportedly because he is occupied filming Dancing With The Stars - an American version of Strictly Come Dancing.

Despite auditions kicking off this week, the next series won't air on TV screens until next year.
However, fortunately for fans, they will have to wait less time than they are used to, as the show will return two month's earlier than usual - starting in February rather than April, like it typically does.
KSI will star on the talent show judge panel for just three of the five first round audition days.
A source told the Sun: 'Bosses were keen for KSI to appear much like a full-time judge would, given he's due to stand in for a number of days.
'It means there will be one more Golden Buzzer act this year, with the remaining judges and hosts Ant and Dec also given an opportunity to press it.
'It will no doubt make the finals more exciting, to see which judge is best at picking a winner.'
It is believed that the musician and amateur boxer was brought in by Simon to attract younger audiences.
Last year, he was rumoured to be making a deal to join the show, with a source telling The Sun at the time: 'Simon Cowell knows KSI is a huge hit with the younger generation.

But when the star was first rumoured to be joining the panel, Simon was forced to shut down whispers that Bruno was being axed permanently (Simon, Amanda, Alesha and Bruno pictured on show last year)
'He would be a great addition to pull in teenage fans, which is something the producers are keen to do.
'KSI is chatting to bosses in the hope of agreeing a deal that would also work with his hectic schedule.'
But when the star was first rumoured to be joining the panel, Simon was forced to shut down whispers that Bruno was being axed permanently.
It was confirmed last year that the Italian choreographer would be returning for the next series despite scheduling clashes.
Appearing on Heart Radio at the time, Simon insisted: 'I would not replace him. I love Bruno on the show.'
He explained that due to the clashes with Bruno's schedule, the star would be replaced for some of the auditions that he is unable to attend.
Addressing the rumours, host Jamie Theakston asked the star: 'I'm gonna read you a headline from one of the papers today Simon... 'Britain's Got Talent set to drop judge, Bruno''
As Simon confessed the headline was false, Jamie pressed: 'Okay, well, what of that isn't truth?
It was confirmed last year that the Italian choreographer would be returning for the next series despite scheduling clashes, but that there will be some sort of stand-in
Appearing on Heart Radio at the time, Simon insisted: 'I would not replace him. I love Bruno on the show' and explained that due to the clashes with Bruno's schedule, the star would be replaced for some of the auditions that he is unable to attend.
Simon explained: 'Seriously. I spoke to... I don't know where all this stuff comes from. I spoke to the producers literally two weeks ago about there is a scheduling issue with Bruno.
'Because we're doing the auditions... some of the auditions this year and he's going to be in America.
'So maybe there'll be a stand in for him. I don't know. But I love Bruno on the show. I think he's brilliant.'
Heart Radio co-host and fellow judge Amanda agreed as she added: 'He brings such an amazing energy and he knows so much.'
'And he knows so much about what he's talking about. And actually, he's a brilliant, brilliant judge and the nicest person. So no, I would not replace him,' Simon added.
'So... Bruno's coming back?' asked Jamie as Simon confirmed once and for all: 'He's coming back.'
Speaking candidly Simon added: 'Can I be honest with you? I wouldn't change this judging panel, I think it is something... it's like your show, your number one. So why would I change BGT.'
