Bruno Tonioli reveals ITV offered him rival show before 'career risk' Britain's Got Talent

New Britain’s Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli delighted Strictly Come Dancing viewers with his dynamic personality for 15 years. He was last seen as a judge on Strictly in 2019 and his permanent departure from the show was announced ahead of the last series.
