Britain's Got Talent suffers HUGE on air blunder as Bruno Tonioli swears live during final - as some fans ask for him to be 'sacked'
Host Declan Donnelly was forced to apologise to ITV viewers after the Italian choreographer uttered the bad language before the 9pm watershed.
The ex-Strictly star was giving feedback after comedian Joseph Charm's performance when he said: 'We were just p***ing…' before quickly correcting himself and apologising.
The incident forced Dec to issue an on-air apology, as he told viewers: 'Apologies if you were offended by Bruno's slip of the tongue there.'
The remark was made during a live broadcast, which falls under strict rules preventing swearing before the 9pm watershed.

Bruno who joined the ITV talent show two years ago later clarified that he and the other judges had simply found the act very funny.
Some fans took to X to respond to Bruno's blue language, with some vowing he should be 'sacked' whilst others felt it was the 'best part' of the whole night. They penned:
'#BritainsGotTalent # BGT I'm not offended by Bruno saying p*****g, I am irritated by him constantly shouting and jumping his feet all the time!';
'Bruno nearly saying p*****g themselves laughing at what we don't know #BGT';
'Bruno dropped a minor swear klaxon! #bgt'; 'A lovely swear from Bruno. #BGTFinal #BGT #BritainsGotTalent';
'I'm sorry but Bruno swearing on Britains Got Talent has got me in stitches even 15 minutes after, so funny so funny #BGT';
'Sack Bruno he just said p*ssing on live daytime television!! #bgt';
'Bruno saying p*****g has probably been the best part of this final so far.'
It's not the first time that Britian's Got Talent has been in hot water over the judges bad language.

Two years ago viewers were left amused when Bruno swore live on TV during the shows second semi-final show.
Bruno appeared very unimpressed as he was dragged up on stage during Andrew Stanton's 'disgusting' stunt act and was heard dropping the expletive live on TV after walking on stage.
He was heard saying to music mogul Simon: 'Oh f**king hell Simon, not again.'
In 2019, Amanda Holden caused nearly 200 complaints with governing media watchdog, Ofcom when she dropped the F-bomb during a terrifying live act.
Amanda was left trembling with fear when the spooky act, saw her led into a basement to be terrified by women dressed as ghosts.
At the time, the former Kiss Me Kate actress issued an apology saying: 'I really want to apologise for saying a terrible word. I know my kids are watching so I apologise for that. I can honestly say I feel terrified.'
But that's not all. A year before, in 2018, a stage invader stormed onto the judging panel and slammed three of the red buzzers, leaving the judges very shaken.
When the intruder interrupted their critique of Magus Utopia's act, as Amanda screamed in fright, Simon swore.
Managing to slam Amanda, Alesha and Simon's buzzers, the camera quickly panned out as Simon swore and security dealt with the stage invasion.

The more comical the action at women's Euros, the more woke BBC get – one pundit's pearl of wisdom was red card offence
A SIMPLE equation is at play with the BBC and ITV's coverage of the women's Euros – the funnier the football gets, the more earnest the pundits must become. To the point, when things go really haywire, they sound more like they're dissecting Garry Kasparov versus the Deep Blue chess computer than the latter stages of a football tournament. 7 7 7 A sly reference to the exquisite mayhem of the England/Sweden penalty shoot-out, in Zurich, on BBC1, which has to be a contender for the funniest ever climax to a quarter-final. Eventual winners England seemed determined to turn it into a Gentlest Back Pass contest, while the slightly more gung-ho Swedes were playing a game familiar to every nine-year-old boy on the planet: Who can kick it the furthest? A challenge eventually ended by Smilla Holmberg, who nearly landed her effort on base camp at the Matterhorn. So long had this farce been going by that point, however, there was no time for the Beeb team to do anything more than agree with co- commentator Rachel Brown-Finnis's assessment that it had been a penalty shoot-out, 'worthy of any final'. Final of what? She didn't say, but I'd like to believe Rachel was referring to the carnage of It's A Knockout's old pan-European spin-off Jeux Sans Frontieres. It seems unlikely, though, as absolutely everyone at the BBC and ITV is in a state of denial about this tournament's wretched quality, aided and abetted by dozens of useful media idiots who've cast themselves in the Sir Galahad role and will go to any credibility-knackering lengths to protect the honour of the women. A self-deceiving charade that reached new levels of condescension, in one broadsheet newspaper, after the Sweden game, when a journalist argued that gross incompetence wasn't so much the issue as 'goalkeepers improving'. You treat readers like mugs, you get the response you deserve, which in this case was the comment: 'You won't get laid trying to be their ally.' You're also missing an easy trick, though. For just as the great Jock Stein said, 'without the fans, football is nothing,' it's also nothing without laughter. And for once, I really know what I'm talking about here. For I have seen Scotland play in 31 countries and lose in seven different time zones, since 1986, and frankly it's only the laughter that's kept me going. It's the very last thing you'll hear on either channel in Switzerland though, where instead of taking the light-hearted approach they've gone to the extraordinarily controlling lengths of reinventing the pundit lexicon in an attempt to disguise what's really happening here. ITV's Karen Carney has a particularly grating habit of saying 'vertical pass' when she means forward, but the real blood-boiler is the BBC's maddening use of the T-word which made the quarter-final pre-match banter sound more like a cult meeting. Gabby Logan kicked it off by saying: ' Fara [Williams], an area you're worried about is the transition.' 'Yes, Sweden will much prefer the transitional game,' agreed Fara before Ellen White butted in to say: 'It's frustrating when you're conceding on that transition and Sweden really do like to play in that transition.' Which was the cue, apparently, for Jonas Eidevall to chip in with his observation that: 'If the game is played in transition, it's advantage Sweden.' At no point, however, did anyone ask: 'Transition? What the f*** is the transition?' A huge shame as someone would've been forced to admit it just means losing possession and the reason they were trying to blind us with science is because, in this tournament, it happens roughly every second or third pass. Pull at the honesty thread, everyone clearly believes, and the whole of women's football unravels. It's not the case, obviously. Viewers will watch football, no matter what the quality. Ten million tuned into ITV's coverage of the England/Italy semi-final, on Tuesday. Most of them, like me, probably praying it would end in more penalty shootout mayhem. It was narrowly avoided, sadly, but the night did at least benefit from the presence of Ian Wright and the absence of the terminally tedious Eni Aluko, who'd accused him of 'blocking women' from punditry jobs. Less gracious men than Wrighty would've told ITV to shove their invite, after they left him out of their original roster. But he was present, adding more passion, honesty and animation than the rest of them had managed in the previous 34 games combined. Given TV is so lost to the cult of woke, though, my worry now is it'll simply cut and paste the dull, pompous, dishonest, language-mangling insincerity of the women's game over to the blokes. Especially when Wrighty left a pregnant pause on Tuesday night. 'England can't quite find enough in . . . in . . . ' In the transition, Ian. The sacred bloody transition. Shaz: 'A dandelion.' Ben Shephard: 'Which letter that appears in the word for a song of praise known as a 'hymn' is silent when spoken out loud?' Richard: 'P.' And Impossible, Rick Edwards: 'Which settlement is situated at the southern tip of Loch Ness?' Callum was given the choice of 'A) Fort William' or 'C) Fort Augustus,' but chose 'B) Fort Lauderdale.' RANDOM IRRITATIONS THE new Royal Mail advert provoking us with Judi Love, Josh Widdicombe and Micah Richards so soon after the Horizon IT scandal. BBC2 putting a 'no longer active' disclaimer on Live Aid's 1985 phone lines. Channel 4 newsreader Cathy Newman even sounding smug banking money on The Weakest Link. And Good Morning Britain starting every show with half an hour of Labour Party PR from Kevin Maguire, who is the very last thing TV needs right now: A complete irrelevance disguised as a minor nuisance. LOOSE Women, Monday, Charlene White: 'You will never guess Janet Street-Porter 's summer holiday job.' 7 Pulling tourist carts round the Fez medina? Giving Princess Anne her next ride at Trooping the Colour? Mounted crowd control at the first Old Firm game? Actually, you're right. I give up. C4 LOST PLOT ON KNIFING 7 THE title of Channel 4 's documentary One Day In Southport has to be the most grotesque misnomer of the year. Just seven minutes and 30 seconds, plus a brief sentencing update at the end, was devoted to Axel Rudakubana 's barbaric murder of three young girls at a dance class, while the rest was consumed by the bone-brained riots that followed the outrage. No time at all, apparently, was available to discuss the systemic failings of the state preceding Rudakubana's savagery or indeed anything that happened before July 29, 2024, other than a Tommy Robinson march, two days prior, which had zero bearing on subsequent events but seemed to vex the C4 production no end. And if you even begin to doubt this was because the network was engaged in a political crusade, rather than the moral one the victims' families deserved, you need only question the undue prominence given to a counter-protester called Weyman Bennett. He's billed here as 'Stand Up To Racism, Secretary', and portrayed as very much an 'honest broker' but is also a hardcore member of the Socialist Workers Party and, indeed, part of the central committee infamously accused of covering up rape allegations against a far-left ally. All of which means there is still a huge gap in the network's schedules for a proper documentary about the Southport murders, which isn't afraid to point fingers at the Home Office and its anti-extremism Prevent scheme, which refused three times to deal with Rudakubana. But as well as dropping its infantile political agenda, that would require Channel 4 to find its moral compass, and I'm not entirely sure it ever had one in the first place. URGENT clarification required Re: A cosmetic surgery consultant called Cindy Jackson, who looked ITV2 's Price Of Perfection host Olivia Attwood straight in the face and said: 'I think there are a lot of ways you can lower your visual IQ and come across as someone who's not very bright.' 'Cos that's all natural, Cindy, and I'll challenge anyone else who says Olivia's stupidity isn't God given. LOOKALIKE OF THE WEEK THIS week's winner is Love Island's Yasmin and Morticia Addams. Emailed in by Michele M. ELLA TOONE: 'We kept going until the first minute.' Ellen White: 'Winning is everything but it's not.' Rachel Brown-Finnis: 'You have to draw a line behind what's happened before.' (Compiled by Graham Wray) TV (NOT QUITE) GOLD 7 NOTHING really deserved the description 'TV Gold' during this terrible TV week. But I feel I should mention BBC2's Top Gear repeats and screening of The Searchers, with John Wayne (a classic). Plus, Martin Lewis, of all people, making a genuinely unexpected cameo on the new series of Mandy (BBC2) to deliver the line: 'Just give her a paper receipt, you dirty wet wipe.' And ITV2's Love Island: Unseen Bits, which is the last reminder this show used to be quite funny, rather than simply soul-destroying, and made a point of flagging up Tommy's breakfast preparations, on Saturday: 'How the f*** do you squash avocado?' Conor: 'You literally just . . . mate, that's not an avocado. That's a lime.'

Emmerdale John Sugden clues tease villain will finally be exposed very soon
Emmerdale's latest episodes appear to be gearing towards the end of killer John Sugden, almost a year on from his debut on the ITV soap with some hints to his downfall It can only be a matter of time before Emmerdale villain John Sugden is finally exposed to the village. Nate Robinson's murderer has managed to remain undetected despite a number of mistakes and some shifty behaviour. John killed Nate by accident before dumping his body in the lake and then using Nate's phone to pretend he'd simply moved on, cutting his family out of his life. As well as almost framing Nate's wife Tracy for the death when his body was found, John said nothing and acted like he hadn't just murdered someone for months. While the guilt is slowly eating away at him now, he's allowed another person, Owen, to die instead of saving him. This week he framed patient Owen with a faked confession regarding Nate's demise. He filled the confession and suicide note with so much detail only the killer would know, while spoilers have teased an alibi could jeopardise John's dark plan. Amid this he's struggling to cope with his actions, confiding in a volunteer at an online helpline about his guilt. He has no idea though that it's Paddy Kirk, father figure of John's husband Aaron Dingle, that he is speaking with. John's also sparked suspicion with his brother Robert Sugden, who is onto him as it is. But new information about John being at Owen's house before he died has sent Robert's mind whirling. Robert has no idea just how far John's crimes go though, with him orchestrating a harassment campaign against Chas Dingle and Liam Cavanagh all to get closer to them and be the hero, framing Ella Forster in the process. John also triggered a number of events, while also being in the right place at the right time too. He left Cain Dingle in serious danger recently with everyone thinking he'd simply drunk too much alcohol and collapsed, with John actually to blame. He deliberately caused Jacob Gallagher to have an allergic reaction by switching their coffees, all so he could save Jacob and again be the hero. He attacked Liam believing it was Mack Boyd before then saving him, while his feud with Mack also led to him deliberately causing the slurry leak at the farm to frame his enemy. This worked, and Mack's sister Moira is still at risk of losing her home and the farm, due to fines and losses in finances. John spiked Chas at one point before saving her, also rescuing Ruby Miligan from the barn fire and saving Moira then too just moments after killing Nate. Each time he has done something, his actions have alarmed fans given how careless he can be with the "clean-up" whether that be covering his tracks, disposing of evidence or framing someone. Robert learns about the Jacob incident next week, already onto John about Nate and Owen's apparent crime. Whether anyone listens to Robert remains to be seen though, but fans believe John's husband Aaron is now onto him after catching him burning his medical supplies. Mack was also onto John at one point and has refused to get involved since. But this hasn't stopped fans thinking Mack and Robert will soon join forces to expose John, with Mack's mystery flashforward still not aired. Claudette Anderson also knows about John visiting Owen, so perhaps she may look into matters, and then there's Liam who wasn't John's biggest fan previously. All it's going to take is a current ally to turn on John, whether they work with Robert or not.

If you're curious, you can read our Privacy Notice. John's own clumsiness could be his ultimate downfall, leaving behind evidence or accidentally giving away his crimes or a crime he's yet to commit. Then there's Paddy who we now know is John's mystery confidant - so will John get a little too vocal and end up giving away what he's done to Paddy? What if Ella was to return and find a way to prove her innocence? Will they ever question who really attacked Liam all those weeks ago, and will Aidan awake from his coma again and finally expose what John did to him? With there being such a focus on a huge September plot and new characters Kev, Celia and Ray, all tipped to be baddies, surely the currently village baddie John is on his way out. With so many people now questioning him and Robert keen to expose him for once and for all, not to mention John's lies so close to unraveling in more ways than one, it's certainly paving the way for him to be rumbled and a comeuppance could be imminent.

Trump visits Federal Reserve after attacks on Powell
Donald Trump is to tour the Federal Reserve as he ramps up pressure on chairman Jerome Powell. The president is expected to arrive at the central bank at 4pm Washington time (9pm UK) to inspect renovation works. The overhaul has become increasingly contentious in recent weeks, amid speculation Mr Trump is seeking to use cost overruns on the project as an excuse to oust Mr Powell. Mr Trump has been campaigning for months to get the Fed to cut interest rates, posting a regular stream of invective against Mr Powell on his Truth Social online platform. This week he called for Fed's benchmark rate to be 3 percentage points lower than the 4.25pc to 4.5pc rate it is now. The Fed's reluctance to move until it gauges the inflationary effect of Mr Trump's tariffs has prompted the president to repeatedly threaten to sack Mr Powell before his term as Fed chairman ends next May. American law prevents the president from ejecting the Fed boss for reasons related to monetary policy. The only potentially legal cause for removal would be 'inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance'. Mr Trump is also wary of provoking a market meltdown if he is seen to attack the bank's independence on monetary policy. This has prompted the White House to look for other potential triggers – and they have alighted on the controversial renovation project at the Fed's Washington headquarters. The cost of the works was budgeted at $1.9bn (£1.4bn) when the project began in 2021, but has blown out to $2.5bn. The Fed has said that higher post-pandemic costs for labour and materials were responsible, along with unexpected expenses related to asbestos removal and toxic soil contamination. But Mr Trump's senior aides have claimed the project is extravagant and wasteful. They alleged the plans included VIP dining rooms, executive elevators, water features and roof gardens – claims largely rejected by the Fed. Several senior officials have sought to keep up the pressure by arranging to tour the building site and inspect the works personally. Mr Trump has now opted to join them. The president has suggested he is unlikely to try and oust the chairman 'unless he has to leave for fraud'. Several of Mr Trump's aides, including those leading the campaign against the Fed, are in the frame to replace Mr Powell.
