Britain’s Got Talent 2026: Where is Bruno Tonioli?
There has been a major change behind the judges’ desk this year.
Bruno Tonioli will not return for the 2026 series after stepping down in September 2025.
The former Strictly Come Dancing judge left after three series on the ITV show.
Bruno explained that filming dates clashed with his role on Dancing With The Stars in America.
In a statement, he said: “After three incredible series, I’ve sadly had to walk away from a job which has opened my eyes to so much incredible talent and step down as a judge on BGT.
