Britain’s Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli has sparked complaints on tonight’s episode for his behaviour during auditions.

Bruno admits he wanted to ‘stop’ BGT audition because it was ‘so horrifying’

Britain’s Got Talent has returned to our screens for another series. Bruno joins the judging panel with Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon.

Recently, Bruno opened up about an audition which left him ‘horrified’.

In an exclusive interview with OK!, Bruno opened up about the new series.

I honestly wish the judges would just sit down and enjoy the acts.

“This year we’ve seen some amazing acts that are absolutely astonishing on every level,” he said.

The dancer admitted some auditions were “unbelievably grotesque” while others were “unbelievably inspiring”.

However, some left him feeling horrified. He said: “The great thing about this show is that you go from laughing to crying to being completely horrified. One act had big hammers and axes! They were smashing things. That got me very worried, I wanted to stop it.”
