KSI, who was serving as a guest judge, found himself called to the stage by the hooded figure wearing a mask to conceal their identity.
What followed was an eerie performance that left KSI “screaming and on the verge of tears” as he was forced to confront his fears.

The ordeal continued as KSI was blindfolded while he “wriggled around” in discomfort before The Tormentor revealed he would be using a feather to torment the judge further.
