Bruno Tonioli 'leaving Britain's Got Talent'
An insider told The Sun that Tonioli would not be able to film the show due to prior commitments in the US for Dancing with the Stars.
They said: "The filming schedule in 2024 meant that Bruno could get away with not being present for filming one week of auditions.
'But it would be virtually impossible for him to miss two weeks, because in the final edit, that equates to half the episodes in the new three-month run of BGT, which will air from February of 2026.
'There is absolutely no ill feeling about the situation, it's simply down to changes in the schedule making it incredibly difficult to remain as a full-time judge.
'The only hope is if his long-time friend and fellow panellist Simon Cowell steps in to make it clear that he has to be a part of the show, no matter how difficult it proves to be.'
Who will replace Bruno Tonioli on Britain's Got Talent?
According to the report from the publisher, the frontrunners are KSI and Alan Carr.
KSI, being the guest judge on the last series, could make for an obvious choice, with many enjoying his brief appearances on the show.
Alan was one of the previous favourites to replace former judge David Walliams before Tonioli was chosen.
Reacting to the news online, fans of the show have had their say on who they would like to fill the soon-to-be-vacant judging chair.
One said: "Alan Carr would be the right choice."
Another said: "I beg BGT bring in Alan Carr. KSI didn't work, I might actually watch this abysmal show if Alan Carr was on it."
"Alan Carr every single day," said a third.
Some, however, backed internet personality KSI to take on the role fully.

"No KSI no party," one joked.
A second said: "Alan Carr would be good but I've gotta go with my guy KSI to be the next judge."
Other names that were thrown in the hat by fans included Harry Hill, Sam Thompson or Pete Wicks, or bringing back David Walliams.

Danny Jones and wife appear to be back on track in new photo after Maura Higgins kiss
Danny Jones and wife, Georgia, appear to be rekindling their relationship after the McFly star was caught locking lips with Maura Higgins in a drunken kiss at the BRITs McFly star, Danny Jones, and his wife, Georgia, appear to have put the past behind them as they posed for a family photo at their home. The couple, who share seven-year-old son, Cooper, were rocked earlier this year when Danny appeared to lock lips with reality star, Maura Higgins, in a drunken kiss at the BRITs. Danny, 39, eventually apologised for the misdemeanour while Maura stayed silent and hot-footed it to LA for a photoshoot. Meanwhile, Georgia, was said to have temporarily moved out of the home she shares with her husband, before deciding to give things another try. The couple look like they're rekindling their relationship in their latest snap together in which they're seen smiling, surrounded by Georgia's family in the garden. The podcast host posted the snap on Instagram with the caption: "And then there were 17... "My family are dotted all over the world so getting all of us together at once is near on impossible which makes days like this even more special. "Cousins, aunties, uncles, parents, husbands, wives, kids… my house was full and my heart happy. Missed you Si." Responding to the wholesome snap, one fan replied: "Arrrrr family's are so special." A second mused: "You all look so alike!" Meanwhile, a third said: "Lovely to see you both looking so happy." It comes after Danny issued a grovelling apology to his wife, two weeks after the clip of him and Maura at the BRITs went viral. Apologising for his behaviour, he wrote on Instagram: "Hello everyone, sorry it's taken me a while to post this but I've taken some time out to be with those closest to me. "I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. "I love them so much and we'll continue to deal with this privately." After a short hiatus during which she reportedly moved out of the family home for a spell, Georgia returned to the podcast she hosts with Tom Parker's widow, Kelsey. Claiming the mum-of-one is throwing herself into he career and 'will not be seen as a victim', a source told The Sun: 'Georgia has her head back in work and this year is already shaping up to be very exciting. She has got a fresh deal with Omaze to record social media ads. 'Georgia is refusing to be seen as a victim and after everything that happened she wants to crack on and get back out there. 'She has already done some filming for them and couldn't be more excited about what doors this job could open.'

Jeff Brazier delivers update on relationship with son Freddy amid family feud
TV presenter Jeff Brazier gave Loose Women viewers an insight into his relationship with son Freddy after the 20-year-old's recent difficulties. Earlier this year, the youngster was said to have left the family home to move in with his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden, while in June, he said that he was heading to rehab in Spain after becoming addicted to "smoking". Now on Loose Women, dad Jeff has updated fans on how the father-son pair are doing. Speaking about his upcoming role in 101 Dalmations: the Musical, Jeff said that Freddie is "eager" to watch him on stage. When asked whether his older son, EastEnders star Bobby, had given him acting advice, Jeff said: "He's been a bit casual about it. I was with both the lads yesterday and Freddie is showing more eagerness to come and watch. "Bobby is going to come soon and no doubt there will be a critique that follows. He does trust me, I think he's always admired the fact that I chuck myself in. Whether that's a good idea or not, it soon follows doesn't it?" Jeff is making his musical debut in 101 Dalmations: The Musical, starring alongside JLS singer Aston Merrygold and Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas.
