Strictly's Bruno Tonioli silent after reports he's quitting BBC show 'for good'

Strictly Come Dancing star Bruno Tonioli has stayed silent on reports that he's ready to say goodbye to the BBC ballroom 'for good.'

Bruno's involvement in the hit show has been massively disrupted over the past two years due to the coronavirus pandemic. With both the UK and America, where he spends most of his time, were subject to strict travel regulations when BBC bosses managed to bring Strictly to air in autumn of 2020. That meant Bruno was unable to be in the studio as the likes of Maisie Smith and eventual champion Bill Bailey competed.

The judge, who was on the panel when the programme launched back in the summer of 2004, did play a weekly part in the show, giving his verdicts via video during the results show. However, last year Bruno was replaced entirely, with Anton Du Beke making the transition from being pro dancer to panellist to become the fourth judge.
