The Sun<\/a>: \u201cBruno has officially quit Britain\u2019s Got Talent and they are hoping that KSI will replace him.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n “He absolutely loved being on the panel with Simon, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden but Bruno just can\u2019t juggle his schedule with filming. There is no bad blood and Bruno is leaving with a smile on his face.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Bruno\u2019s ongoing commitments include US dance competition Dancing With The Stars.\n<\/p>\n
\n Earlier this week, rumours had circulated about Bruno quitting the show as a source said: “The filming schedule in 2024 meant that Bruno could get away with not being present for filming one week of auditions.”\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n “But it would be virtually impossible for him to miss two weeks, because in the final edit, that equates to half the episodes in the new three-month run of BGT, which will air from February of 2026.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The 69-year-old joined the judging panel in 2023 alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon, following\u00a0David Walliams\u2019 departure.\n<\/p>\n
