Fabian Fox READS KSI's MIND and surprises him with PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER! | Semi-Finals | BGT 2026

0:17 When I was 10 years old, my biggest dream was to time travel.

0:23 Imagine you close your eyes right now and you

0:26 could relive one single moment of your life.

0:30 What moment would it be?

0:34 Tonight, I want to go back to the past.

0:37 But before that, I need to create a moment in time.

0:42 Kai, before we start,

0:48 please take this p and in your mind go back to when you were a child,

0:52 10 years old, and think about the one word describes KSI at that time.

0:58 One word.

0:59 You have it.

1:01 Okay, good.

1:01 Please write it down.

1:02 Don't let me see it on the pad.

1:05 And once you're done, just unfold the paper and put it in your pocket.

1:17 All done.

1:17 Yeah.

1:18 Put it away.

1:18 Thank you very much.

1:21 Judges, before the show began tonight,

1:22 we get 50 random people a piece of paper

1:25 and a pen and totem to write down number and letter combination.

1:29 Can you make sure those are all different, all unique?

1:32 Please check them out.

1:33 All different, all unique.

1:36 Simon, can you please mix them for me?

1:38 You want me?

3:23 I mean I don't know what that is.

3:25 Uh it has very bad handwriting.

3:30 I want you all to imagine that this is my time machine.

3:36 Now, I know it sounds crazy.

3:39 I know.

3:41 I know it sounds crazy, but you've all seen Back to the Future, right?

3:53 Heat.

4:22 Heat.

4:37 Heat.

4:38 Heat.

4:45 Heat.

4:58 Heat.

5:18 BGT.

5:19 3 2 1 go.

5:45 Heat.

5:46 Heat.

6:06 I just went back into the time.

6:09 I went back into the past and I met somebody one of you might know.

6:15 Sounds crazy.

6:16 You don't believe me?

6:17 Just watch this.

6:32 I'm here to meet somebody who knew one

6:35 of the judges when they were a very small kid.

6:39 I met ready for school.

6:42 And judges, here are the choices you just made.

6:47 Alicia, you chose random letters and numbers.

6:52 H A55 H.

6:58 That's weird.

6:59 Look at the postcode from the school.

7:04 No.

7:04 H A55 H.

7:10 I think I'm early.

7:11 You know what?

7:11 Let's tell you something.

7:13 Oh my god.

7:14 I'm about to meet a very special person.

7:17 But before that, what are all these random letters all about?

7:23 T S B M R A 83 4.

7:32 Hang on.

7:34 8 3 4.

7:37 I told you before I think I'm early, but actually I think I'm on time.

7:45 8:34.

7:48 What are all these for?

7:51 Let me have a look.

7:58 Mr.

7:58 T.

7:59 No, it's my teacher.

8:01 Oh, you're joking.

8:03 Mrs.

8:04 No, Mrs.

8:05 B.

8:06 Mrs.

8:07 Mrs.

8:10 Mrs.

8:12 What?

8:12 Oh, hey.

8:13 Who are you?

8:15 Mrs.

8:15 Bat.

8:16 Do you know any of the judges?

8:17 I know KSI.

8:19 I was his music teacher and I'm the head

8:22 teacher at the school where he was a pupil.

8:24 So, how was KSI back in the day?

8:27 Well, very well behaved, but he still had that infectious laugh.

8:32 That's great.

8:33 Mrs.

8:33 Pat, can you do me a favor?

8:35 Can you write down one single word that comes

8:37 to your mind when you think about KSI in school?

8:40 Okay.

8:41 Okay.

8:41 Make it simple but not too obvious.

8:46 Interesting.

8:47 Thank you very much.

8:50 Thank you, Mrs.

8:51 Pat.

8:52 Okay.

8:52 And I'll go back to the theater.

9:05 Once you meet somebody in time, this moment stays forever.

9:09 KSI for the very first time.

9:11 What's the word you're thinking of?

9:16 Oh, my head is gone.

9:20 My word was gaming.

9:26 Oh my god.

9:38 Heat.

9:54 HEAT.

10:10 If I had the power to press the golden button, I would have pressed it.

10:18 Yeah, I I'm I How did you do the mic thing, bro?

10:30 That is honestly one of the most incred

10:33 incredible things I've ever seen in my life.

10:37 One of the most incredible things I've ever seen in my life.

10:40 And the fact the fact you went back to your school where you were

10:44 as a 10year-old I mean what is a what does a 10-year-old KSI even look like?

10:48 Oh, I I know what a 10year 10year-old KSI looks like.

10:54 He looks like that.

10:56 That's what a 10-y old KSI looks like.

11:01 I know that that's you took us on a real journey.

11:14 Did you hear me?

11:16 Okay.

11:16 You took us on a journey and I loved all the really small details.

11:22 The fact that you had that epic moment with the bike and gave us the drama.

11:28 You made it personable.

11:30 I liked you in the audition round, but I love you now.

11:33 I think when it mattered, you brought it.

11:37 Well done.

11:38 Brilliant.

11:40 Yeah, there is just an ease and a and a charm to you.

11:44 You just told the story so well.

11:46 That stunt with the bike was epic.

11:48 And all I kept thinking about was the Royal

11:51 Variety show and how that would just look so cool.

11:57 That audition was amazing and as Alicia said,

12:01 all the sentiment behind it gave it a bit of heart.

12:04 So, well done.

12:05 Really good.

12:10 Well, I thought that was really clever and really brilliant.

12:17 Genuinely, I really do.

12:20 And I think, you know, when we pick people, you know,

12:23 from the audition shows to go into the live shows,

12:26 you're always looking for someone to do better than what they did before.

12:31 And I know I wasn't there, but I obviously saw the audition back.

12:34 I thought every part of that was better

12:38 and it kind of dragged us into the story.

12:41 Well, look, listen.

12:45 Listen, they love you here.

12:52 Love you in Britain.

12:53 And they loved it in Austria when they saw you on this, didn't they?

12:57 Yes.

12:58 Uh, all my family is watching right now back in Austria.

13:00 All my friends are here.

13:01 My family's even here.

13:03 Thank you so much, Britain.

13:04 I love you.

13:05 And yes, hopefully see you soon.
