Bruno Tonioli has said he had "no idea" he had been in the running to join the judging panel on Britain's Got Talent (BGT), teasing that he hadn't ever seen the show.
The choreographer, 67, made the remarks ahead of the ITV talent show returning for its new series, with his debut appearance as a judge set to air over the weekend.
He was named as the latest judge earlier this year following the departure of David Walliams, 51 – who had been one of the four people on the panel for a decade before he quit last year.
