The judge refused to remain in his seat as he gave feedback
As tonight show kicked off, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli took to the judges panel one last time.
While they can't impact tonight's winner, they are still on hand to give their thoughts on the evening performances.
With Wildcard singing duo Han and Fran kicking off the evening with an ABBA Medley, one judge seemed to be swept away with their act.
Bruno, who previously judged Strictly Come Dancing, got up from out of his seat to give his deliberations.
The judge is known for his flamboyant hand movements when describing acts, but viewers became annoyed when they noted that he couldn't seem to remain in his seat.
After Ping Pong Pang - a paddle-focused dance act - completed their routine, Bruno gave his deliberations to the dance crew and the audience by standing up and recreating some of the moves, telling them he "loved them" by making heart symbols.
He later remained stood up after the judges gave singing choir Hear Our Voice – made up of those affected by the Post Office scandal.
"Someone glue Bruno to his seat FFGS," noted one viewer. "WTF is Bruno doing ? Sit the f'ing hell down."
"Why can't Bruno sit down?," said a third, while a fourth commented: "Bruno is annoying why does he keep wanting all the attention when he's giving his comments? The standing up #BGT"
"they give Bruno a chair and a microphone. what does he do? stands up and shouts," complained another.
Britain's Got Talent brand ITV show a 'fix' as Bruno Tonioli's co-star blows judges away with audition
On tonight's show, 10 finalists plus the bonus wildcard act are performing for the final time in order to be crowned champion.
The final 10 acts are: Hear Our Voice, The Blackouts, Harry Moulding, Stacey Leadbeatter, Olly Pearson, Ping Pong Pang, Binita Chetry, Joseph Charm, Vinnie McKee and Jasmine Rice.
The winner takes home £250,000 and a spot on the line-up of this year's Royal Variety Performance.
They follow in the footsteps of Sydney Christmas, who won last year's show.
Britain's Got Talent Judges
The ITV talent show wouldn't be the same without the four charismatic judges who put the contestants through their paces.
Simon Cowell is the staple of Britain's Got Talent and resumes his role as head judge. The mogul is one of the most iconic figures in music and is responsible for offsetting the careers of many performers around the world.
Amanda Holden has been a judge on Britain's Got Talent since it first started in 2007. The sexy star is a firm fixture on the judging panel, which has helped her to become a household name.
Alesha Dixon is back to judge the new series of Britain's Got Talent. The TV star joined the panel back in 2012 and quickly became a fan favourite.
Bruno Tonioli makes up the fab four. After leaving Strictly, he decided to move over to ITV and is the newest BGT judge after replacing David Walliams.

Strictly champion Ore Oduba reveals secret struggle while on BBC show - 'It was hard'
The 39-year-old TV presenter - who started losing his locks in 2009 and resorted to using hair loss spray, then tablets to try and reverse the balding Ore Oduba says hiding his hair loss when he did Strictly Come Dancing was "hard but absolutely necessary". The 39-year-old TV presenter - who started losing his locks in 2009 and resorted to using hair loss spray, then tablets to try and reverse the balding - took desperate measures to hide his bald patches when he took part in the hit BBC Latin and ballroom dance show in 2016. Taking to Instagram to share a timeline of his hair loss journey in a picture carousel on Tuesday, Ore wrote next to his Strictly publicity shot: "Hiding my hair loss during Strictly was hard but absolutely necessary. "I'd visit my trusted barber every Friday night so my hair and hairline was tight and tidy, my fibres did the rest." The star and his professional dance partner, Joanne Clifton, 41, won Strictly Come Dancing in 2016. And Ore could not have his head in his hands to react to the shock of winning as the star feared he would have messed up his hair. Captioning a photo of him reacting to winning Strictly Come Dancing in the same photo carousel, Ore wrote: "My mind fully emptied from the shock... but I still had the wherewithal to know not to touch my hair when I had my head in my hands for fear it would look messy or out of place on camera." Elsewhere in the photo carousel, Ore admitted he feared losing his TV career if he had shaved or gone bald in 2019. Captioning a red carpet photo of him, the star explained: "It'd been nearly 10 years of hair insecurity and I was desperate to just shave it off. "But here's the really sad thing ... I didn't know any bald presenters on TV (that hadn't been actors or pop stars before, I see you Marvin Humes and Ross Kemp!) and I was SURE I'd never get a job again if I went shaved or bald." And Ore also revealed in the photo carousel that he would ask picture editors to "colour in my hair" so people would not notice his bald patches. Captioning a publicity shot of him taken in 2015, Ore revealed: "My TV profile was starting to rise, and by now I'm pretty adept in my hair 'system' routine. "I was even confident enough to ask photographers/editors to 'colour' in my hair so you couldn't notice even when you zoomed in pictures."

Maisie Smith says Strictly was 'scarier' than Celeb SAS despite 'crying every day'
Maisie Smith has opened up about her experience on Strictly Come Dancing, revealing that her time on the BBC One was "scarier" than her stint on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins Maisie Adam has revealed that her time on Strictly Come Dancing was actually "scarier" than Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins - despite 'crying the whole way through' the Channel 4 show. Maisie took part in the 2020 series of Strictly Come Dancing with partner Gorka Marquez. She made it all the way to the final that year but lost out to champion Bill Bailey in the final episode. She went on to compete in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins in October 2022 and won the series alongside Ferne McCann, Calum Best and AJ Pritchard. Appearing on Loose Women today, Maisie admitted that Celeb SAS took its toll - but Strictly was scarier. It comes after BBC Strictly Come Dancing start date confirmed as line-up revealed. "I did cry the whole way through," Maisie said of Celeb SAS. "Celeb SAS is worse than it looks, even when I was watching it, it was like 10 per cent of how it actually felt." She added: "Strictly was scarier because it was my first time being on TV, was a shock to the system. But SAS was so physically demanding, you can't compare them." The 24-year-old ex-EastEnders star also opened up about her partner Max George - who recently underwent heart-block surgery and was fitted with a pacemaker. Sharing an update on his health, Maisie said: "Max is getting stronger every single day, gigs every weekend, so he gets all week to chill. Except not because he's got to travel and see me but he's doing well." As for whether she would return to EastEnders, Maisie didn't rule it out. "You don't know, you never know, but I'm enjoying being on stage, the show that I'm doing is gonna be incredible," she said. Earlier today, Strictly announced its next three stars who are set to take on the ballroom challenge - with The Apprentice's Thomas Skinner, Geordie Shore alumni Vicky Pattison and Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis joining the 2025 cast. This year's stars of Strictly were spotted heading into rehearsals earlier today as Strictly fever began over in Elstree, London.

Strictly star Alex Kingston's VERY racy start to her career revealed: Actress was a nude life model before starring in raunchy roles that saw her strip off for the camera
Alex Kingston's raunchy start to her career has been revealed after she became the third star to sign up for this year's Strictly Come Dancing. Her journey from butcher's daughter to internationally acclaimed actress and the latest star to sign up for the BBC 's flagship show began almost 30 years ago. And it certainly was a risqué beginning to stardom, with Alex, 62, earning extra cash as a nude life model for artists before going on to star in the 1996 romp The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders. The series was an adaptation of the novel Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe and charts the bed-hopping antics of the criminal's daughter brought up in society. And the show was Alex's springboard to fame and brought her to worldwide attention, not least for the number of bodice-ripping scenes she featured in. Since then, Alex, who has starred in Doctor Who and EastEnders, has never been shy about stripping off in front of the camera. It certainly was a risqué beginning to stardom, with Alex, 62, earning extra cash as a nude life model for artists before going on to star in the 1996 romp The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders. Two years later, she appeared alongside Clive Owen as Jani de Villiers in the gambling flick Croupier, where movie fans could bet on getting more than a glimpse of her impressive curves. In 2000, in the film Essex Boys, came more raunchy scenes with her leading man. The film is loosely based on events in December 1995 that culminated in the murders of three drug dealers in Rettendon, Essex, UK, and she played femme fatale Lisa Locke. And in the 2011 series Marchlands, Alex was seen in the buff yet again when she played Helen Maynard in a supernatural drama following the lives of three families who live in the same remote house in different time period, and in the 2019 series The Widow, she locked lips with co-star Siobhan Finneran. But in a recent interview with The Telegraph, she said she had managed to avoid the horrors of the Harvey Weinstein-style casting couch predators. She grew up the daughter of a butcher and an art teacher, making her screen debut aged 17 as Grange Hill bully Jill Harcourt. She told the publication last year: 'Casting couch culture still existed when I came out of drama school. If you were a young girl, you'd likely encounter something at some point – I have friends who did – and, if you were on the up, people might question how you got there. 'I was too naive to read the signs and in a weird way that protected me, because I never went for "the drink in the pub".' Her role in Moll Flanders earned her a Bafta nomination and a fruitful new career path as ER's Elizabeth Corday. Nowadays, such demands would require intimacy coordinators and, while she is relieved such provisions are in place for her drama-student daughter Salome ('although she's very ballsy, she can look after herself'), she regards her own blasé attitude with fondness. 'I was a life-drawing model so I was very used to being naked around people. After one of Moll's earliest sex scenes, the first AD [assistant director] jumped into bed and the three of us had a post-coital fag together because we thought it was funny. You couldn't do that nowadays, which is probably a good thing', she added. But she did infamously bite the tongue of a male co-star in a stage play – leaving him needing stitches in his tongue. She was unhappy when the unnamed lead used his tongue in their kissing scenes and issued a warning to him to stop the saucy smooch. The actor refused, and Alex bit his tongue while they were mid-performance - and it was only the next day she realised the severity of what she had done. She told The Graham Norton Show in 2011: 'Interestingly, and I'm not going to mention the actor's name... I did do a job once. I did a play and at the end of the play there was a kiss and we'd been doing this for a long time, a long run, and this actor, every time we did this kiss, he would stick his tongue down my throat... 'So I said, "If you do that again I will bite your tongue", and I think he thought I was joking so the next performance he did it again and I bit his tongue and clung on for a while, and didn't think anything of it. 'And then the next day, when we were backstage and I bumped into him, he was just having soup and I couldn't understand why he wasn't eating anything more substantial, so I said, "You're only having soup?" and he said, "I've got four stitches in my tongue". 'I had actually bitten through his tongue! I warned him!' Alex's very colourful career comes as she's set to add another string to her bow - as a Strictly contestant. Speaking to The One Show hosts Roman Kemp and Alex Scott on Monday about her upcoming stint, the actress teased: 'My hips don't lie'. Alex notably appeared in US drama ER from 1997 to 2005 alongside George Clooney. She also took on a recurring role in Doctor Who, playing River Song - the love interest of Matt Smith's incarnation of the Doctor and the daughter of Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill). Alex briefly reprised her role during Peter Capaldi's stint on the BBC sci-fi show and has also leant her voice to a number of audio releases in the franchise. Alex has previously spoken about her desire to sign up for Strictly, revealing she and her close friend Sarah Hadland - who competed last year - had discussed it. 'Sarah Hadland and I talked about how much we'd like to do Strictly Come Dancing,' she said in 2019.
