Bruno Tonioli, judge on Britain’s Got Talent, is reportedly saying goodbye to the ITV show after two seasons. According to The Sun, boxing star and singer KSI is already in talks to take his place alongside Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda Holden.
Bruno, 69, joined the BGT judging panel in 2023 following the departure of David Walliams. He was previously best known for his long-running role as a judge on the dance competition show Strictly Come Dancing.
A source told the British publication: “Bruno has officially left Britain’s Got Talent, and they’re hoping KSI will replace him. He loved being on the panel with Simon, Alesha, and Amanda, but he simply can’t fit the filming schedule into his diary.”
The same source clarified that Bruno’s exit is not due to any internal issues: “There are no hard feelings, and Bruno is leaving with a smile on his face.”
KSI’s name had already been circulating after his guest appearance as a judge on the show, which sparked major fan interest and speculation about him joining the panel permanently. Bruno himself seemed to support the idea.
“We’re both young, attractive, multi-talented stars known around the world,” Tonioli joked at the time. On a more serious note, he added: “I think KSI is fantastic — a truly charming man full of energy. We also went to the BRITs together, which was a fabulous night.”
With KSI potentially joining the panel, the upcoming season of Britain’s Got Talent could strike a fresh balance between tradition and modern energy.
