‘Imagine being the only one booed when there’s a man on stage in just pants!’: BGT audience appear to heckle new judge Bruno Tonioli during grand final
Britain’s Got Talent’s live audience appeared to boo new judge Bruno Tonioli during the opening moments of Sunday’s grand final.
After hosts Ant and Dec, both 47, introduced all 11 finalists to the stage, the four judges were then introduced with Bruno joined by Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.
After taking to their seats on the panel, they were quizzed in turn about the night ahead, only for the former Strictly star to seemingly receive a string of boos from the audience.
Rushing to Twitter one viewer joked following the scantily- clad Tonikaku’s perfomance: ‘Is it just me that is hearing people booing Bruno? imagine being the only person that’s being booed when there’s a guy only wearing pants on stage.’
While others were left scratching their heads asking: ‘Why are they boo’in Bruno?’.

Norwegian comedian Viggo Venn has been crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2023.
Dancer Lilliana Clifton, 13, and 14-year-old magician Cillian O’Connor placed in second and third respectively – but missed out on the title.
Viggo scooped the £250,000 prize and a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance.
However, audience members appeared to boo Viggo, while social media erupted as viewers claimed the talent show was fixed.

After a tense semi-final singer Amy Lou will be joined by magician Cillian O’Connor, acrobats Duo Odyssey, dance troupe Ghetto Kids, dancers Lillianna Clifton and Musa Motha, opera singer Malakai Bayoh, singers Olivia Lynes and Travis George and comedians Tonikaku and Viggo Venn.
33-year-old Viggo not only donned his now-iconic hi-vis vest but forced head judge Simon Cowell into wearing a matching one as rose petals were thrown over the pair
Judge Alesha Dixon told him: ‘You’ve captivated the nation, they love you.’
Bruno Tonioli added: ‘I think your physical comedy is world-class, you have created one of the most memorable characters since Mr Bean.’
And Simon was full of praise for the funnyman, telling him: ‘At least you didn’t make me look stupid tonight. I have never ever met an act like you in my life, I will admit it, I really really love you now.’
Viggo called back to his original audition at the end of his performance, stripping off his jacket to Daft Punk’s ‘One More Time’ to reveal another hi-vis vest.
And when asked why he has so many of the jackets, he told co-host Declan Donnelly: ‘I wear so many high-vis because it’s really cold in Norway.’
While many took to social media to praise Viggo for his win, some criticised him online, with one penning: ‘Nothing irritates me more than when complete JOKE ACT wins a competition’
Another wrote: ‘This man wore a hi-vis on a talent show and came away with £250k. Fair play’
