However, his co-star and fellow judge Motsi has massively hinted during a chat with Hello! magazine that Bruno will not be replaced when the show returns.
She told the publication: “I think everybody has a special spot on the judging panel and Bruno is not replaceable.”
Motsi added: “We all have to adjust. [Remote judging] may be an aspect of the show that we never knew was missing.
“We will have to see what works as we go.”
Bruno has said that he is hoping to make the four final episodes.
