BAD BRUNO
Britain’s Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli says he’ll be FIRED as he’s told off by host Ant McPartlin
Bruno found himself in the spotlight more than once during the first semi-final show
BRITAIN'S Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli has warned fans that he could be FIRED from the show after getting a telling off.
The judge, 68, found himself on the sharp end of host Ant McPartlin after he talked too much during the first of this week's live semi-finals.

Ant and his co-host Declan Donnelly had hoped to quickly ask the judging panel for their final thoughts on the first eight acts before the results were revealed.
But they never made it to Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell, as Italian star Bruno spoke too much when it was his turn.
Realising he had overstepped the mark, Bruno said: "Oh God, I'm going to get the sack. That was my last show!"
But as he continued to ramble, Ant found himself having to tell the excitable judge to button it.

Holding his hands up, Ant shouted to Bruno: "Just stop talking!"
Fans of Britain's Got Talent were left bemused by scenes, which played out towards the end of Monday evening's semi-final show.
One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: "I don't think Ant's even joking, he's had enough of Bruno's s***!"
Another added: "Ant and Dec telling Bruno to be quiet was too funny!"

And a third chimed in: "Just stop talking. I don’t think Bruno’s capable of that!";
This was the second time on Monday night that Bruno found himself in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
Britain’s Got Talent viewers brand act a ‘fix’ after judge Bruno Tonioli is dragged into terrifying performance
Ukrainian roller-skaters Vlada Kamyshnikova and Yevhenii Yemelianenko - aka Duo Stardust - pulled him up on stage at the end of their performance.
They hoisted Bruno into silk ropes before dramatically spinning him around and around in circles for a big finish.
But although the judge did look terrified, eagle-eyed viewers claimed to spot a clue that 'proved he knew' he was going to be involved in the act.
