Britain's Got Talent viewers spot 'rift' between judges as Bruno Tonioli 'booed' minutes into final

Eagle-eyed viewers of the Britain's Got Talent final have spotted an apparent rift between two judges after hearing Bruno Tonioli get 'booed' just minutes into the final. After weeks of auditions and live shows, the ITV talent show will come to an end tonight (June 4) with one performer crowned the BGT champion.

Tonight's show will see 10 finalists take to the stage including the wildcard Tonikaku, who was chosen by the judges to make a comeback. Ahead of the performances, hosts Ant and Dec welcomed all of the acts onto the stage before the judging panel made their entrance.

Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli each appeared before the live audience before heading to their seats. But as the hosts began asking each of them for their verdict ahead of the performances, viewers thought they heard the newest judge and former Strictly host get 'booed'.

From then on when Bruno, 67, spoke there appeared to be a 'booing' sound coming from the crowd, and it was quickly picked up on by viewers who took to Twitter to question the noise.

@AudreyB47859558 tweeted: "Is it my imagination or are the audience booing everytime Bruno speaks? And also when the judges walked out i think they were booing...what's going on there??#BritainsGotTalent."

@el_WILLS_ said: "Is it just me but were people booing Bruno at the beginning of the show? If so, what have I missed? #BritainsGotTalent."

@Miss_Terreh added: "The booing for Bruno is hilarious #BGT2023."

@NorthEastNic___ asked: "Why are the audience booing Bruno? Is he just not liked? #BGT."

Later in the show, viewers then picked up on an awkward encounter between Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.

Just after dancing act Duo Odyssey finished their performance, Bruno was commenting on their movements and then accidentally stroked Alesha's arm.

The singer and judge looked rather annoyed and it didn't go unnoticed by viewers who think they may be a rift between the pair.

@OliReading tweeted: "Alicia horrified that Bruno touched her elbow."

@Erdogan44 said: "Alesha’s face when Bruno stroked her…yikes.."

But @Metroline10 thought: "I dont think alesha hates bruno,alesha has struggled this series to be heard because of sitting next to bruno,bruno has outshone her & she is finding it difficult to deal with,i think she will quit,i will be surprise if she is back next year,i hope she is back."
