Bruno Tonioli has shared how David Walliams welcomed him taking over his role on Britain's Got Talent ahead of viewers seeing his debut on the show. It was announced earlier this year that the former Strictly Come Dancing judge would be replacing the comedian and actor on the judging panel of the hit ITV talent show.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly welcomed Bruno to the panel at the first audition taping in January along with fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell. In a video shared by a fan at the time, the audience gasped in excitement as the names of the judges were lowered from above the stage.
Ant said "here they come," before Dec then announced: "Please give a huge London Palladium welcome to the four judges for this afternoon: They are Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli!"
