Britain's Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli breaks golden buzzer as viewers spot major blunder

Britain’s Got Talent judge left everyone shocked when it accidentally broke the golden buzzer. The ITV hit show returned to our TV screens for another episode as a number of acts attempted to impress the judges with their unique talents in hopes of making it through to the next round.

During tonight’s show, viewers watching at home saw a range of contestants from comedians, magicians, singers and dance acts.

However it was dance group Phoenix Boys who caught the attention of former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno. The talented young male dancers come together once a month to dance together. They revealed that they set up the all-male group as they felt as through they were being “forgotten”

Ahead of their performance they admitted that they had only rehearsed three times together. Despite not having much practice together they managed to leave the judges and audience impressed with their ballet and jazz performance.

Bruno fought back tears after watching the group as he went on to press the golden buzzer but his excitement took over as he hit it to hard and it ended up breaking.

Fellow judges Simon, Alesha and Amanda looked stunned as Bruno explained: “I had to. I know how hard it is, what you do. People don’t really understand how hard it is to succeed as a dancer, the work that goes into it and the passion – you literally do it for nothing. You do it for love – and I felt that.”

Alesha went on to say: “I could see the emotional connection that Bruno felt and I knew that he could see himself in you.”

Bruno added: “I literally can’t speak. What really touches people is when you perform from your heart – it’s the truth of your performance…and you touched me. And I think you touched everybody here.”

This isn’t the first time Bruno has got into trouble for using the golden buzzer. Last year he broke the show’s rules when he pressed the buzzer twice on his first day.

Viewers watching at home went straight to social media to share their reaction as they claimed that Bruno has already used his golden buzzer.

@V_1999x Tweeted: “How are they judges having more than 1 golden buzzer? Bruno & Amanda have got 2 golden buzzers & last week Amanda saying “we only have one” BGT.”

@liadaksy asked: “Did Bruno just break the golden buzzer for that?? #BritainsGotTalent.” @SG902110 said: “Haven’t they used all there golden buzzers !?? Bruno really doesn’t care about the rules does he #BritainsGotTalent.”

@NicolaPeach questioned: “Are there unlimited Golden Buzzers this year? Did I miss that being said? #BGT #BritainsGotTalent.”

While @mouseymoomoo2 added: “It was only a matter of time before Bruno used his golden buzzer again. #BritainsGotTalent.”
