Singer and YouTuber faced his worst nightmare on tonight's , strapped to a chair while a masked figure tricked him into thinking he was covered with bugs. And the guest judge, who was left shaking in fear, was in shock when he discovered his hooded, cloaked tormentor was… his little brother Deji.
KSI, 31, was first given a glimpse of the creepy crawlies, then blindfolded. And he screamed in terror as Deji then used a feather duster to make him believe they were swarming over him. When the figure unmasked himself, KSI blurted out: “I hate you so much.” Unrepentant Deji, 28, admitted to the : “It was great to get one over on him, any opportunity to torment him is awesome.

As well as capitalising on KSI’s fear of bugs, he used his knowledge of his brother’s past crushes. Deji said: “It was very nice to see his face when I mentioned someone from his past that no one knows. It was priceless. He has a fear of bugs, so to play into that was a lot of fun. I knew he’d react like that – if you’re tied up and you’re faced with your biggest fear, I’d screech too.”
Deji, a and boxer like his brother, said he had been prepared to go even further with his mind games – but was stopped by producers. He confessed: “I’d told them something else and they were like, ‘We can’t use that, it’s a bit too much…’. I won’t say it because it’s too deep, but along the lines of another girl.”
Deji recalled how he would often go head to head with his brother while growing up in Watford, Herts. He said: “There was a lot of pranking. I’d go into his room while he was asleep and pour water on his head. Anything to spark a reaction.
"There was a time I tried to kick him and ended up kicking the table. I broke my toe. We were wrestling kids – we loved doing moves.”
Demonstrating their closeness, he added: “It’s nice to see him succeed, he doesn’t flaunt what he has. People can become arrogant when they get money and fame. We never see that.”

KSI said of the stunt: “I was blind to it, when I got pulled up on stage I thought, ‘Here we go’. I was tripping balls! Bugs are a genuine fear of mine.”

Deji says he’s been a great addition. He said: “He’s charismatic. He’s very loud as well. He appeals to the younger audience.”
