Bruno Tonioli has been confirmed as the new judge on Britain's Got Talent, replacing David Walliams.
The former Strictly Come Dancing judge, 67, will join Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and hosts Ant and Dec on the next series of the ITV show. Bruno made his debut on the panel on Tuesday as the first round of this year's auditions kicked off at the London Palladium.
The internet had been rife with speculation over who the new judge would be after it was reported that David Walliams had departed the role when a recording was leaked in November of the comedian making explicit and derogatory remarks about contestants. Previous reports suggested that Alan Carr would be filling the role, but on Tuesday evening the official Britain's Got Talent social media pages shared a picture of Bruno alongside his fellow judges as they confirmed the news.
