Bruno Tonioli’s seat on Britain’s Got Talent’s judging panel has reportedly been ‘saved’ by show boss Simon Cowell after he recently slammed speculation that he would be replaced.
Filming for the ITV series was set to clash with Dancing With The Stars – which Bruno, 68, has been a judge on since 2005.
However, Simon, 64, will reportedly fork out thousands to have the Italian TV personality flown back and forth.
‘When Bruno joined BGT last year, he breathed new life into the show.
Simon loved how unpredictable he was and thought he made great TV. From the ratings, it’s clear the viewers agreed too,’ a source told The Sun.
‘When plans were drawn up to revamp BGT for 2025, it was quickly flagged to Simon and the producers that Bruno is already committed to Dancing With The Stars.

‘Simon managed to find a way to make it work. It means while a stand-in judge may be needed once or twice, Bruno remains on the show.’
The source also revealed that flying back and forth isn’t ideal for Bruno, however, he loves both shows and feels committed to them.
