Bruno Tonioli nearly swore as he was dragged onto stage tonight for the Britain’s Got Talent live semi-final.

As Duo Stardust – who was boss Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer act – performed their daring rollerblade tricks for the judges, Bruno Tonioli was shocked when two people dragged him on stage and placed him between the dancing duo.

He stood there awkwardly as they told him to sit on their hands, before they were pulled into the air. As he sat down, he panicked and nearly swore when he was hurled into the air, with just the duo holding onto him. It didn’t appear that he was attached or harnessed to anything, as the judges watched on shocked alongside the audience.

Bruno held on for dear life as he was spun by the pair, who flung themselves around in a circle in the air, whilst Bruno looked shaken when he stood back on the floor. One fan watching the show wrote: “I’m SCREAMING they gave him no choice and just flung him round and round, should’ve done it to Simon #BritainsGotTalent.”

However, when they got given their feedback, the pair received a mixed reaction from the judges. Having been part of the act, Bruno was impressed – but Simon, who put them through to the final originally, wasn’t as impressed.

Simon had originally put the duo through, but his decision left fans puzzled. At the time, some viewers were a bit confused over the rules, not sure there should have been another buzzer given there has been so many already. One wrote at the time: “Simon pressing the golden buzzer

again. how many do they get these days. Normally one per judge.” Another viewer asked: “How many golden buzzers are given?” as a third fan repeated: “How many golden buzzers have #bgt given now? Feels like every other act is a golden buzzer.” A fourth fan commented: “There’s been more golden buzzers than acts from Britain on this series.”

The married couple from Ukraine had decided to sign up to the show after being inspired by skaters Billy and Emily, who auditioned back in 2015. Years on, Duo Stardust said they had hoped to be as successful as their skating counterparts.
