Long-time Britain's Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon are reportedly furious that their new co-star Bruno Tonioli will be paid the same amount as them. The Strictly Come Dancing star is joining the ITV show's star-studded judging panel and is allegedly set to take home the same amount as the mainstays - a whopping £850,000.
Filming for the next series of BGT is due to start on Tuesday, January 24, but things may not go as planned as Amanda, 51, and Alesha, 44, are reportedly refusing to sign a new deal. Both judges have been part of the hit televised talent competition for a very long time, with the upcoming series due to be Amanda's 17th and Alesha's 11th.
But sources claim that their time on the panel could be nearing the end as both singers are not happy that newcomer Bruno will receive the same salary as them, despite their longevity and the fact that Bruno has just waltzed onto the show. An insider told The Sun: "It's a bit of a headache for BGT given filming for the next series begins at the London Palladium on Tuesday.
