Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has taken a swipe at Bruno Tonioli’s antics while he filmed his first series for the ITV show.
The Strictly Come Dancing judge has replaced David Williams, who left the show after audio leaked of him mocking contestants on the show during their auditions.
Bruno was said to have shocked his fellow judges when he pressed his Golden Buzzer, which he is only allowed to use once during the show, on the first episode.

Reports claimed that Amanda and her fellow judge Alesha Dixon were not that impressed with his behaviour as he broke several rules during filming.
Amanda said about her co-star ahead of the series returning: “He’s been in the industry a long time, so he knows his stuff.
“He’s got loads of energy, like putting a Borocca into water and watching it fizz! He gives some good critiques when he’s not messing around and being naughty!
“I swear we need to strap him to his chair, he never sits down! He’s a sweetheart and very informed those are the bits that I’m finding really interesting about him!”
Bruno appeared to realise his rule-breaking was a shock to the system for the rest of the team, who have been on the panel for years.
He said: “Well basically, they tried to, Alesha gave me a brief, but then I forgot everything she told me!
“I think that was obvious when I pressed my golden buzzer at the wrong time on the first day!
“They were like, “here are the rules, you press it then, not then”, but that went out the window, I honestly got caught up in the moment, forgot everything I’d been told and just reacted instinctively.
“I looked up, Simon was in stitches, Alesha looked shocked! But that really happened. I mean, it wasn’t planned. I honestly had no idea I’d do that in the moment.
“Anyway, Simon tells the crowd there’s no rules, to forget what they’ve been told and act badly behaved, so I listened! Come on, he’s the boss!”
BGT returns to ITV on Saturday 15 April at 8pm.
