Bruno Tonioli causes Britain's Got Talent chaos on first day in ITV job

Bruno Tonoili is said to have been at the centre of some chaos on his first day as a judge on Britain's Got Talent, reportedly hitting his Golden Buzzer within an hour of auditions starting, before trying to push it again.

After plenty of speculation that it would be comedian Alan Carr who'd be sitting in the chair left vacant by David Walliams' exit, it ended up being Strictly Come Dancing star Bruno who landed the coveted role on the ITV show. Delighted at his appointment, he said: "Here we are, Britain's Got Talent. I am so excited. It's my first show, I have no idea what's going to happen, but I'm sure it's going to be brilliant."

Well apparently, Bruno's first day at work on Britain's Got Talent ended up being a very eventful one, with TV Twitter account Super TV posting: "While I know our expectations were set high… I do think Bruno is a fun addition to the show. Plus I’ve just been told that he hit his Golden Buzzer within the first hour of auditions in the *middle* of someone’s audition."

The account followed up those nuggets of information with a second on Wednesday, which read: "he tried to give someone else a golden buzzer and got told off. He then went on to force Simon into pushing it."

The tweet added :"Also, every time the judges vote through an act, he keeps saying “sorry, it’s a no from me” and then smacking his buzzer."

Reacting to the post, one BGT fan replied: "I'm actually so here for the chaos. This could be inspired casting," with a second responding: "Feel like Simon has forgot to tell him the rules.."
