SH0CK – Bruno Tonioli DOESN’T want to LEAVE BGT – Fans Chant ONE Name that makes him NERV0US!
Bruno Tonioli is reportedly set to quit Britain’s Got Talent after just two series in a major blow to the show.
Bruno, 69, joined the ITV variety programme in 2023, replacing David Walliams who d3parted under a cl0ud.
He joined Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon last year and returned for its most recent series, which became the show’s longest yet.
However, the flamboyant former Strictly Come Dancing judge’s jam-packed schedule is making it harder to lock him down for filming BGT.
A TV insider told The Sun: ‘The filming schedule in 2024 meant that Bruno could get away with not being present for filming one week of auditions.
‘But it would be virtually impossible for him to miss two weeks, because in the final edit, that equates to half the episodes in the new three-month run of BGT, which will air from February of 2026.

Singer KSI, who stood in on the most recent series as a guest judge, is said to be on the shortlist to replace Bruno after winning viewers over
‘There is absolutely no ill feeling about the situation, it’s simply down to changes in the schedule making it incredibly difficult to remain as a full time judge.
‘The only hope is if his long-time friend and fellow panellist Simon Cowell steps in to make it clear that he has to be a part of the show, no matter how difficult it proves to be.’
The publication adds that comedian Alan Carr – who narrowly missed out on the spot to Bruno, could be drafted in as his replacement.
MailOnline has contacted Britain’s Got Talent for comment.
Meanwhile, singer KSI, who stood in on the most recent series as a guest judge, is also on the shortlist after winning viewers over.
Previously addressing chatter about KSI to become a permanent judge, Bruno showed he wasn’t phased.
He said: ‘We’re both young, attractive, multi-talented stars known the world over.
‘Joking aside, I think KSI is fantastic — a real charming man full of energy. We attended the BRITs together too, which was a fabulous evening.’

He replaced David Walliams who departed the show under a cloud in 2023
It was recently revealed how the auditions for the next series of Britain’s Got Talent will take place in just Blackpool, in October.
Viewers saw the show kick off in February this year, with episodes airing each Saturday night, replacing the traditional nightly episodes.
The live semi-finals – which usually air nightly over the course of one week, were also shown on Saturday nights.
MailOnline revealed how Alan, 49, broke down in tears when BGT producers told him he didn’t bag the vacant chair on the judging panel as Simon favoured Brno.
He said how he ‘regretted’ the move as it would have seen the funnyman work with close pal Amanda Holden.
