Amanda Holden hits out at ‘naughty’ Bruno Tonioli as she slams him for ‘messing around’ on set
AMANDA Holden has taken a swipe at “naughty” new Britain’s Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli.
Bruno, 67, replaced David Walliams as a judge for the current series – and it seems he’s still figuring things out.
It was announced at the end of 2022 that David would be leaving Britain’s Got Talent after 10 years in a show shake-up after he was caught on tape making disparaging remarks about previous contestants.
Bruno left Amanda and their co-star Alesha Dixon shocked when he pressed his golden buzzer during the very first episode.
Opening up about his debut, Amanda said: “He’s been in the industry a long time, so he knows his stuff.
“He’s got loads of energy, like putting a Borocca into water and watching it fizz! He gives some good critiques when he’s not messing around and being naughty!
“I swear we need to strap him to his chair, he never sits down! He’s a sweetheart and very informed those are the bits that I’m finding really interesting about him!”
Bruno recently spoke out about “breaking the rules” that Alesha had set him.
He said: “Well basically Alesha gave me a brief, but then I forgot everything she told me!
“I think that was obvious when I pressed my golden buzzer at the wrong time on the first day!
“They were like ‘here are the rules, you press it then, not then’.
“But that went out the window, I honestly got caught up in the moment, forgot everything I’d been told and just reacted instinctively.”
