Alesha Dixon takes swipe at ‘greedy’ Bruno Tonioli and demands he ‘sit down’ amid BGT rule-break chaos
ALESHA Dixon took a cheeky swipe at her “greedy” Britain’s Got Talent co-star Bruno Tonioli.
The singer pointed out the serial rule-breaker – and demanded he “sit down” after he got carried away on stage.
Alesha and Bruno were joined by their fellow judges Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell at a screening for the new series, which launches on Saturday.
In a Q&A, the panel struggled to pick their favourite golden buzzer – after ditching the one-per-judge rule.
Alesha interjected: “I only had one. I wasn’t greedy.”
Admitting the series now doesn’t adhere to its normal rules since Bruno replaced David Walliams last year, Alesha added: “There aren’t any rules.”
She then turned to Bruno and told him: “We used to have rules before you joined the show.”
Bruno got overexcited on stage as he told about plans to get botox.
Jumping out of his seat, Bruno shouted: “I’m the only one who has wrinkles.”
Grabbing him by his hip, Alesha pulled Bruno back and told him: “Sit down, down.”
The Sun revealed BGT’s chaotic return including broken rules, record use of golden buzzers and a singer who could be new Adele.
On day one of watching the talent show acts, Bruno, 68, bashed his golden buzzer so hard it broke.
And the others were hardly less enthusiastic with its use.
Within hours, all had used their golden buzzer to send an act straight through to the semi-final.
Until Bruno’s arrival last year, the judges all stuck to just one buzz a series.
But this series will see a record nine golden buzzers used.
Britain’s Got Talent returns this Saturday at 7.30pm and Sunday at 7.40pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
