During Michael McIntyre's show KSI's estimated monthly YouTube revenue was accidentally leaked as the host showed KSI's phone screen to the whole audience.
Content Creator KSI was recently on Michael McIntyre's tv show. One segment featured the host showing the entire audience KSI's phone screen. Next to texting people and looking at pictures, McIntyre stumbled over KSI's YouTube Studio. After being asked about it, KSI responds:
"YouTube Studio is probably one of the main things I look at."
Then, McIntyre opened it and showed its content to the audience: 17.8 Million views, 77.1K new subscribers and then finally: $105K of estimated revenue in one month. With a quick gasp from McIntyre, both the audience and KSI started laughing.

Before sending the #TextMessage in #SendToAll, #MichaelMcIntyre browsed the former boxer @KSI's #MobilePhone and clicked on @YouTube Studio to reveal the stats.#MichaelMcIntyresBigShow pic.twitter.com/H8lJj49mh2
But instead of swiftly closing the app, to the audience's enjoyment, McIntyre decided to investigate further and really look into the shown analytics.
KSI Laughs The Leak Off
Though a leak like that has the potential to spark major controversy, KSI seemed to take it very well. Instead of getting upset or asking for this part of the show to be cut, it seemed like he appreciated the audience's reaction. Neither them nor the host seemed particularly shocked. After McIntyre states how these statistics seem quite impressive, KSI laughs and replies:
"Thank you, thank you. Been working hard."
It is also worth mentioning that, according to Dexerto, that particular episode was filmed in November of 2025. Therefore, these numbers are old. Additionally, YouTube is likely not KSI's only stream of income – though he is a YouTuber, he also made music, has his own successful sports drink company "Prime" with Logan Paul and more.
