The musician, boxer and internet sensation didn’t take part in Sidemen Present: SideMenu, the culinary show which is the latest to go out on their hugely popular YouTube channel as well as Prime Video.
But I can reveal that they’ll be flying solo moving forward as KSI, who was centre stage in this weekend’s BGT final, ploughs his own furrow.
An insider said: “There isn’t an atom of bad feeling between him and The Sidemen, both understand that they’ve got huge workloads and are enjoying massive success.
“That just means they’ll have to move in different directions, but that doesn’t mean they won’t work together again at some point in the future.”

Their Sidemenu show publicity raised suspicions when all the usual crew returned – Behzinga, Miniminter, TBJZL, Vikkstar and Zerkaa, along with frequent collaborator Jakey Davies.
Notable by his absence, however, was KSI and it was simply reported that he: “wasn’t available to film.”
Though both he and the Sidemen are unlikely to suffer as a result of the separation.
KSI has been a huge hit on BGT and is likely to be offered another spot on the judging panel next year, partly thanks to the huge social media following he brings to the show.
Meanwhile the Sidemen have made the leap from social media phenomenon to bona fide TV stars thanks to their deal with Prime Video.
The collective – who have over 160m subscribers between them – have also seen their Inside competition series moving to Netflix, where their 2024 doc The Sidemen Show had already topped the streamer’s UK chart.
I think they’ll be just fine.
KSI’s representatives declined to comment.
This comes after Britain’s Got Talent came to an epic end on Saturday night with their incredible live final.
he Hawkstone Farmers Choir was crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2026 over the weekend.
The act scooped the £250,000 prize money on the ITV show following a public vote, which saw over a million votes cast.
The history-making choir will also perform at the Royal Variety Performance in London in November.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, both 50, announced the winner at the final held at London’s Eventim Apollo.
The Jeremy Clarkson backed group narrowly beat drone art act Celestial to win.
Choir leader Katrina Hawkstone said: “We are the first ever choir to have won Britain’s Got Talent. This is for all the farmers out there. For anyone who’s struggling, it’s not a taboo subject, speak up!”
