Bruno Tonioli blew a kiss as he arrived for the Britain’s Got Talent auditions in London.
The 67-year-old former Strictly Come Dancing judge was confirmed as the ITV show’s new panellist on Tuesday after weeks of speculation.
He replaced David Walliams, who joined the talent contest in 2012.
Italian choreographer and dancer Tonioli wore a sequined jacket, a tight shirt unbuttoned almost to his navel and black trousers as he arrived at the London Palladium in London’s Soho on Friday.
He waved to fans before posing for the cameras and flashing a smile.
Amanda Holden opted for a smart blue jacket while Simon Cowell posed for the cameras wearing a dark t-shirt and large sunglasses.
Co-hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly wore more casual attire as they took selfies with fans.
Tonioli was previously a fan favourite on Strictly Come Dancing after joining the BBC One programme during its debut series in 2004.
However in 2022 it was announced Tonioli would be departing the celebrity dancing competition because his travel commitments had made it “impossible” to continue.
