Bruno Tonioli was 'forced' to change his vote for one of the acts in the Britain's Got Talent auditions, after a fierce backlash from the crowd, sae him and Alesha Dixon loudly booed by fans for their harsh feedback.
After hitting her Golden Buzzer for inspirational theatre group Chicken Shed last week, former Mis-Teeq and Strictly star Alesha was back on the panel alongside new judge Bruno for another round of auditions in the latest episode of the ITV show's new series. And first up to audition this time round were dance duo Romeo and Icy, with the 20 and 21 year-olds doing a street dance routine to Jay Sean's hit Down, which then went into Ella Eyre track Gravity and MKTO's viral Tik Tok smash Classic.
The Britain's Got Talent crowd lapped up the performance and Ant and Dec were clearly loving it in the wings, with Amanda Holden then telling Romeo and Icy that their audition "felt current and energetic," also remarking it was "very TikTok."

But, when it came to Alesha to give her feedback, she wasn't anywhere near as positive, telling the dancers: "I just wasn't blown away by the dance style. I don't agree with Amanda, I don't think this us current," as boos began to sound out round the venue as unimpressed audience members quickly made their feelings known.
Not thrown off, Alesha added: "I've seen it before and I've seen it done better." Thankfully for Romeo and Icy, Simon had a very different opinion to Alesha, saying: "I loved it. You're really funny, brilliant friendship, great chemistry. Everything about it was fun and this is what the show should be about."
When it came to the all important vote, Simon said it was "a million per cent" a yes from him, with Amanda also putting them through. However, when it was Alesha's turn to decide, she coldly remarked: "From me, I'm sorry to say boys, it's a no," prompting more angry boos from the crowd.
Bruno Tonioli was the final judge to vote and, having given similar comments to Alesha, he too gave the lads a no, before being swayed by the reaction of everyone in the room, who were encouraged to protest by Romeo and Icy, and eventually giving them a yes, putting them through to the next round.
