Bruno Tonioli has bragged Britain’s Got Talent is the biggest show in the UK “now that I’m here”.
The former Strictly Come Dancing judge said working on BGT was a 'completely different sort of judging' but his experience in the business means he 'knows what the job needs'.
The 67-year-old was confirmed as the ITV show’s new panellist on Tuesday after weeks of speculation, and joins Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden on this year's panel.
On Friday ahead of the first slew of BGT auditions Tonioli blew kisses to crowds as he arrived for filming.
Gushing about his move to ITV, the star said: “This is the biggest show on British TV, now that I’m here. I mean it. Simon is going to hate that I’ve said that but oh well.”
He went on: “I have nothing bad to say about Strictly, it changed my life. But this is completely different.
