Britain’s Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli has made a huge impact since joining the show.
The 67-year-old star has stood out for his quirky, lovable and funny personality whilst bouncing off fellow judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.
But although he seems to be an open book on the show, his love life has been kept out of the public eye.

Bruno has kept his romantic side sealed and rarely shares information about his long-term partner Jason Schanne.
Jason has no social media accounts and stays away from online.
They reportedly started dating in 2010 and later shared a commitment ceremony in 2012. Stars including Johnny Weir and Perez Hilton attended the special day.
The pair are believed to spend their time between London and their luxury mansion in West Hollywood.

The former Strictly Come Dancing judge has previously been linked to model Matt Law back in 2019.
Matt, from Los Angeles, is a swimwear model and boasts 165k followers on Instagram.
The blonde hunk was pictured getting close with the star on the red carpet.
A source previously told The Sun: “Bruno is very happy. He hasn’t had anyone special on his life for ten years and Matt has put the smile back on his face.”
But the pair squashed the claims, with Matt insisting: “We are just friends.”

Bruno grew up in Italy and said he often stood out from other men due to his sexuality.
The choreographer said he “knew there was something different” about him from when he was a child.
Bruno told The Mirror 2005: “Everyone was football-mad but I just wanted to watch musicals and see art.
“It was frightening. I really was the only gay in the village. I was labelled ‘the queenie guy’ and ‘the queer’, which was the worst thing you could be told in Italy in those days.”
