Bruno Tonioli has claimed that dogs get better treatment than he does at Britain’s Got Talent.
The judge has been amazed at how well performers including the pooches in The Trickstars – a dog act that made it to the semi-finals – are tended to behind the scenes of the ITV show. “The dogs are so well looked after,” said the star.
“There is a huge production. They are very well taken care of. They are protected all the time. The sound levels are brought down at different times so they’re not made to feel stressed.”

“They are actually looked after better than me,” he quipped. “They get better dressing rooms!”

Bruno – who was a judge on BBC ballroom contest Strictly Come Dancing for years – is one of the most famous stars to be on the judging panel since the ITV entertainment show launched back in 2007. He took his seat alongside the current judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden last year, replacing TV star and author David Walliams.
But he reckons he is yet to get the VIP treatment – and claims that his dressing room wasn’t a patch on Simon’s when they were holding auditions for the show in London. “When we did the auditions at the London Palladium I was put in the attic,” Bruno said.

“My dressing room was so far away on the top floor and it was like a closet. I was like a witch in the attic. It was difficult to find it.”
“But Simon Cowell had a room that was like a suite and he even had a patio,” he went on. “So I kept barging in and joining him and having his drinks!”
