BGT judge Bruno Tonioli swears live on air as viewers unable to watch 'disgusting' act

Britain's Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli appeared to drop quite the expletive live on air on Tuesday, thanks to a "disgusting" act on the show.

Daredevil Andrew Stanton had everyone talking again on Tuesday night, as his "sick" semi-final act had viewers forced to look away from their screens.

The contestant pulled off a series of gruesome tasks for his latest performance, from sword swallowing and sticking giant springs up his nose, to dragging a truck along the stage using hooks attached to his eye sockets.

There were screams of terror once again from the crowd once, while viewers at home struggled to watch the scenes.

But as the judges were called up onto the stage to assist him, Alesha Dixon refused to go until Bruno encouraged her.

Bruno clearly wasn't keen though, as viewers believed they heard him shout "f***ing hell" as he joined Simon Cowell and the others.

Just weeks ago, BGT faced a number of complaints to Ofcom by viewers after the "most dangerous act" on the show left them sickened.

Andrew forced a huge sword down his throat, and after this the daredevil hooked two ropes onto judge Amanda Holden's belt - before attaching the ends onto his eye sockets.

Simon Cowell called it "the most disgusting thing in the history of Got Talent", and the episode received 71 Ofcom complaints from viewers.

On Tuesday night, Andrew was back - and this time he went further as some viewers confessed they could not watch.

As Bruno stepped into the truck, he turned to Simon and said something which sounded like: "F***ing hell Simon, not again."

The moment did not go unnoticed, and one fan tweeted: "Bruno just said 'f***ing hell Simon, not again'," as a second said: "Did he just say f***ing hell???"

Another said: "I thought I heard Bruno swearing to Simon on stage about the act f***ing hell simon not this again or something along those lines."

Viewers tuning in took to Twitter to share their disgust over the scenes too, with one writing: "First time ive not been able to watch an act. Absolutely disgusting."

Another fan wrote: "This is not entertainment it's disgusting," while a third said: "Don’t think I can watch this, it makes me feel so sick."

It comes after two hopefuls were confirmed to be the first 2023 finalists as dancer Musa Motha and singer Amy Lou won the first Britain's Got Talent semi-final of the series.

Talented dancer Musa, 27, was sent straight through to the final by viewers, so it went down to the judges' vote.

Ukelele musician and school teacher Abi Carter-Simpson and sunbed receptionist-turned-singer Amy Lou went up against one another.

As the judges struggled to decide, it went to the public vote and Amy Lou came second in the public vote.

Among those who also performed on the night included Gamal John, 36, who wowed the judges with his rendition of James Brown classic It's A Man's Man's World in his first audition.

Sadly the amazing singer didn’t reach the top three, despite many viewers believing he could win the show.

Britain's Got Talent's live semi-finals air all this week at 8PM on ITV1 and ITVX.
