According to the latest reports, former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli has been hired to replace David Walliams as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.
Bruno, 67, was originally thought to be fighting for a spot on the panel with comic Alan Carr, 46, after Graham Norton, 59, apparently turned down the job offer.
However, Craig Revel Horwood, 58, another Strictly Come Dancing judge, has denied rumours that his colleague had secured the post.
He also claimed that the producers of Britain’s Got Talent are keeping the identity of Walliams’ replacement under wraps for the time being.
Susanna Reid, the host of Tuesday’s Good Morning Britain, asked Craig if he could confirm or deny that Bruno has joined the renowned competition series.
‘I would love to say he is, but I believe he is up against Alan Carr as well,’ he said.
‘I think they’re juggling and they [bosses] are going to save it as a surprise, so I in fact don’t know.’
Craig continued: ‘Bruno is very secretive with me, darling, he will never be honest with me or tell me the truth, so I really don’t know, but I’d love to see Bruno back on our screens and I think it’s a great position to have, so I wish him all the very best if he is in the running for it.’

According to The Sun, producers have been working on a deal with Bruno for the past week.
A TV insider said: ‘For almost two months, Alan may have been the favourite to take over from David, but Bruno was always Simon’s preferred choice.
‘Not only does he have years of judging experience under his belt from his time on Strictly, he will bring an outrageous brand of comedy that BGT needs on the panel.’
The source added: ‘After intense negotiations, they’ve managed to reach an agreement that will now see him return to prime time Saturday night TV in the UK.’
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.
