Simon Cowell's Britain's Got Talent 'rule break' confirmed by ITV as show descends into chaos

Simon Cowell has defiantly broken the rules on Britain's Got Talent, days after the show descended into chaos thanks to his colleague Bruno Tonioli.

Before the new series of the ITV show had even started, its hosts Ant and Dec confirmed that they had been stirring up mischief behind the scenes, by telling new judge Bruno that he could hit his Golden Buzzer as many times as he wanted to. The former Strictly panellist wasted no time in doing just that, with viewers seeing him put an act straight through to the live rounds during the first episode of BGT's run.

After Simon, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Ant and Dec themselves picked their Golden Buzzer acts for 2023, Bruno hit the button again at the weekend, to send singer Gamal John through to the forthcoming semi finals.
