ITV Britain's Got Talent fans fume over Bruno Tonioli 'rule break' as 'pure talent' act overlooked

Britain's Got Talent fans were left annoyed after Bruno Tonioli used his golden buzzer for a second time this series, while overlooking a 'pure talent' act.

The ITV talent show returned on Saturday night with another handful of hopefuls taking to the famous stage to try and win over judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno.

An emotional Bruno leapt forward to slam the golden buzzer for dance troupe the Phoenix Boys, after the youngsters, all aged between eight and 19, dazzled the crowd with their backflips and pirouettes. The judge and fellow dancer slammed down on the buzzer so hard that he broke it, cracking it down the middle.

Bruno joined the dancers on stage as they rushed to hug him and Bruno explained his decision. He said: "People don’t really know how hard it is to succeed as a dancer. The work that goes into it and the passion and literally you do it for nothing, you do it for love and I felt that."

The other judges looked surprise to see Bruno award his second golden buzzer of the series after giving one to Taryn Charles in a previous episode. It comes after Amanda did the same thing in last week's episode, awarding her second golden buzzer to an act from Japan who uses his hair to do impressions.

But it seems fans aren't keen on the addition of extra golden buzzers and many took to X, formerly Twitter, to complain that Bruno had 'broken the rules' by pressing it for a second time.

"Golden Buzzers just unlimited now, yeah?" one viewer asked, while another said: "Haven’t they used all there golden buzzers!?? Bruno really doesn’t care about the rules does he."
