BGT judge Bruno Tonioli 'about to get fired' as rule-breaking move leaves show in 'chaos'

Britain's Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli landed himself in hot water with his fellow judges after breaking the rules on the latest episode of the ITV show.

Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno, who joined Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon on the BGT judging panel for the new series following the departure of David Walliams, pressed his Golden Buzzer for the second time during auditions. Bruno awarded the honour to singer Gamal John, who blew the audience away with his rendition of It's A Man's Man's Man's World by James Brown.

Bruno's surprise move meant that he became the first judge on the show to get two Golden Buzzer acts - guaranteeing the contestants a place in the live semi-finals. But the rule-breaking action sparked chaos on the judging panel, with Simon joking that Bruno was "about to get fired", The Mirror reports.
