Britain's Got Talent's Bruno Tonioli says some of the contestants are 'demented'
Britain's Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli dubbed some of the contestants "absolutely demented" as he discussed their talent.
The star, who is best known for Strictly Come Dancing, joined the BGT judging panel this season alongside Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden.
He replaced controversial comedian David Walliams after the latter apologised for making "disrespectful comments" about auditioning contestants during breaks in filming the show in January 2020.
Although it was Bruno's first time on the competition, he said he had a "ball" watching the incredible talent.
He said: "I had a ball, partly because I had never seen it before. It’s true! Simon has teased me to death about it.

Gushing about his move to ITV, the star said: “This is the biggest show on British TV, now that I’m here. I mean it. Simon is going to hate that I’ve said that but oh well.”
