Bruno Tonioli WON’T be axed from BGT, despite news report claims, Simon Cowell has insisted.
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Bruno joined the ITV talent show as the panel’s newest judge last year.
He replaced David Walliams following the comic’s departure, sitting alongside fellow judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, and Simon Cowell.
However, just days after the climax of the 2024 series – and Bruno‘s second run – it was reported the Italian star could be replaced by another famous face.
But during an appearance on Heart Radio today, show boss Si has rubbished the claims.

The Sun claimed 68-year-old Bruno would “be dropped” from the series.
The tabloid reckoned the Dancing With The Stars judge could make way as part of a shake-up at ITV which might see BGT fill the slot vacated by the resting of Saturday Night Takeaway.
