Eagle-eyed viewers of the Britain's Got Talent final have spotted an apparent rift between two judges after hearing Bruno Tonioli get 'booed' just minutes into the final. After weeks of auditions and live shows, the ITV talent show will come to an end tonight (June 4) with one performer crowned the BGT champion.
Tonight's show will see 10 finalists take to the stage including the wildcard Tonikaku, who was chosen by the judges to make a comeback. Ahead of the performances, hosts Ant and Dec welcomed all of the acts onto the stage before the judging panel made their entrance.
Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli each appeared before the live audience before heading to their seats. But as the hosts began asking each of them for their verdict ahead of the performances, viewers thought they heard the newest judge and former Strictly host get 'booed'.
