Britain's Got Talent is set for a major shake-up as judge Bruno Tonioli has confirmed his departure from the hit ITV show after just one series.
The flamboyant Italian star, known for his energetic critiques and theatrical flair, joined the panel in 2022 alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon. However, sources reveal that Tonioli's hectic international schedule made it impossible for him to continue.
Who Will Replace Bruno?
Speculation is already mounting about who could step into Tonioli's shoes. Insiders suggest producers are eyeing a 'major star' with previous judging experience to join the panel for the next series.
Names being whispered include former Strictly Come Dancing professionals and even a surprise music icon – though ITV remains tight-lipped.
A Short-Lived Stint
Tonioli's time on BGT was brief but memorable, with his over-the-top reactions quickly becoming a fan favourite. His exit follows David Walliams' departure in 2022 after controversial remarks were leaked.
An ITV spokesperson said: 'We thank Bruno for bringing his unique energy to Britain's Got Talent last series. The search for a new judge is underway.'
With auditions for the new series expected to begin soon, fans won't have to wait long to discover who'll be sitting at that famous judging desk.
