stepped in to apologise for Bruno Tonioli during the Britain's Got Talent final on Saturday (May 31), where 10 finalists and a wildcard fought for the 2025 crown. The winner this year
is set for a hefty £250,000 prize and the prestigious opportunity to dazzle at the Royal Variety Performance before members of the Royal family. The live event commenced with a standout
performance by wildcard ABBA tribute act Hannah and Fran, proceeding to a variety of acts from singers, comedians to dancers lighting up the stage. Amidst the performances, it was comedian
Joseph Charm's slot that saw judge Bruno, aged 69, make a gaffe. Delivering his critique amidst chuckles from the audience, Bruno was effusive about the act's quality. READ MORE:

Bruno remarked during his feedback, then paused, quickly realising his mistake, and issued an apology immediately after. Due to the prohibition on swearing pre-watershed, host Dec too found
himself having to say sorry for Bruno’s linguistic mishap, asserting: "Apologies if you were offended by Bruno's slip of the tongue there." Aware of Bruno's faux pas,
viewers swiftly reacted on social media platforms, with @AGH1494 commenting: "A lovely swear from Bruno. #BGTFinal #BGT #BritainsGotTalent." While another viewer posted:
"Bruno dropped a minor swear klaxon! #bgt." Adding to the reactions, @elliecolton_ tweeted: "I'm sorry but Bruno swearing on Britains Got Talent has got me in stitches
even 15 minutes after, so funny." Another audience member remarked: "Dec apologising for Bruno [laughing crying emojis]." Later on, following drag queen Jasmine Rice's
stunning performance of Nessun Dorma, an emotional outpour ensued from Bruno. Overwhelmed with emotion, the judge described the performer as a 'living work of art' through tears.
