Speaking last year, Tommy told how his drinking had played a huge part in driving a wedge between him and Molly. Advertisement He said at the time: 'The reason why me and Molly broke up was because I got addicted to alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be any more.

Bruno Tonioli's BGT future in doubt because of clash with US show – paving way for popular star to take place

BRITAIN'S Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli's future on the show has been thrown into doubt as ­filming dates for the next series clash with his US telly gig on Dancing With The Stars. It paves the way for Simon Cowell to put his favourite guest judge — social media star KSI — in the flamboyant Italian's place. 1 Bruno Tonioli's future on the show has been thrown into doubt - pictured with Simon Cowell Credit: Rex Former Strictly judge Bruno replaced David Walliams on the panel in 2023, joining Simon, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon. 'A real charming man' A source said: 'There is no doubt that KSI's social media clout is exactly what the BGT panel needs, and Simon loves the edge he brings. 'TV isn't getting the viewing figures it did a decade ago, so to have someone who can tell their followers to sit down and watch the box can have a real impact. Read More on TV 'Because of the scheduling issues, insiders are certain that Simon will offer KSI a more long-term position in the show.' Speaking last week, Bruno, 69, insisted he didn't feel threatened by the 31-year-old YouTube sensation. He said: 'We're both young, attractive, multi-talented stars, known the world over. Joking aside, I think KSI is fantastic — a real charming man, full of energy. 'We attended the Brits together too, which was a fabulous evening.' Most read in News TV After KSI's first appearance on BGT in February, his fans demanded that the A BGT spokesman declined to ­comment. Britain's Got Talent viewers slam Bruno Tonioli for hitting Golden Buzzer after act's TV past is exposed But an insider added: 'We had a similar situation last year. 'Bruno was filming Dancing With The Stars in October but was still available to film BGT auditions in Blackpool. In this year's series, KSI stepped in as a guest judge for both Bruno and Simon on different audition dates.'
