BBC The One Show viewers make complaint about Bruno Tonioli over show appearance as he makes Britain's Got Talent admission

The One Show viewers were flocking to social media to make the same complaint about Bruno Tonioli's appearance on the show as he chatted about the new series of Britain's Got Talent. The 67-year-old was on the BBC One show to be interviewed by Alex Jones and Anita Rani about his new TV gig.

After leaving Strictly Come Dancing last year, it was revealed back in January that Bruno would be replacing David Walliams on the judging panel of the hit ITV talent show. Last year comedian David, 51, apologised for making “disrespectful comments” about auditioning contestants during breaks in filming the popular show in January 2020.

But appearing on The One Show on Thursday evening (April 13) ahead of the new series of BGT airing this weekend, Bruno made an admission, sharing how he had "never watched" the show before agreeing to be a judge on it. "I had no idea I was up for the job," he said on the programme.
