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.

Video game created to help young people's mental health
Game designers in Cornwall are part of a project to create a "serious" video game to help young people deal with adverse childhood experiences. The Ace of Hearts game deals with issues like bereavement, poverty and substance at the University of Falmouth worked with young people to design the game, which is part of a £35m UK-wide programme looking at the mental health of young of the developers said: "The main purpose of the game is to get people to talk about it afterwards." Ace of Hearts is part of a project called ATTUNE which is using varied arts-based methods, including gaming, to explore young people's experiences and understandings of mental health and the impact of negative 14, who attended a youth mental health event at Falmouth University, said: "I play Roblox and Minecraft with my friends and I play Fortnite with my dad."Some people have a negative view of gaming but that's old fashioned - older people haven't grown up with the games that we have - gaming is a really fun way of unwinding."I definitely think gaming can be used to help, especially when you meet new people. It can be easier to talk to them rather than professionals who you have to wait a long time for." Graham Smith is a software designer who works on the games development course at Falmouth said: "The main purpose of the game is to get people to talk about it afterwards."Mental health is a serious topic and anything you can do to help young people who are suffering is worth it."When you're dealing with mental health a lot of things can be triggering for a lot of people, so you have to be cautious and empathetic in how you deal with the topic."Technology is taking over and you have to go with the mediums that young people are using."It's not Call of Duty, we're here to make serious games with serious messages." 'Use every tool' Psychiatrist Prof Kamaldeep Bhui from Oxford University is one of the principal investigators on the ATTUNE said: "Half of mental illnesses have started by the age of 14 and three quarters by the age of 24 so it's vital we use every tool we can and games are something many young people feel safe using."Games can be a cause of harm or addiction for young people, but we also have to understand that it's a space where young people can be playful and a gaming platform is a place where some people don't feel alone." The ATTUNE project is part of the Adolescence, Mental Health and the Developing Mind Programme, funded by UK Research and Innovation and led by the Medical Research Council with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Economic and Social Research programme runs until 2026 and will explore how mental health needs emerge in young people, what makes some more resilient or vulnerable than others, and how early intervention can help positive mental health and wellbeing.

Australia and UK sign 50-year defence treaty despite US wavering on Aukus submarine deal
Australia and the UK will sign a 50-year treaty to cement the Aukus submarine pact, even as the major partner in the Aukus agreement, the US, wavers on the deal. The new treaty will be announced by foreign minister Penny Wong and defence minister Richard Marles — alongside British foreign and defence secretaries David Lammy and John Healey — in the wake of the annual Aukmin talks in Sydney today. The US is not a party to the new treaty, which will be signed on Saturday. While negotiations over the Australia-UK defence treaty were flagged before US President Donald Trump took power, the document's inking re-affirms UK and Australia ties in the face of American tariffs and the Pentagon's yet-to-be-completed Aukus review. While the details of the treaty have not yet been announced, it is expected to cover a wide breadth of cooperation between the UK and Australia in developing the Aukus nuclear-powered submarine — the first of which will be built in the UK, before manufacturing begins in Adelaide. 'The UK-Australia relationship is like no other, and in our increasingly volatile and dangerous world, our anchoring friendship has real impact in the protection of global peace and prosperity,' the UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, said. The bilateral treaty will facilitate greater economic co-operation between the two nations by improving both countries' industrial capacity. As part of the existing defence agreement, Australia will pay about $4.6bn to support British industry to design and produce nuclear reactors to power the future Aukus-class submarines. In a joint statement, Marles and Wong said the Australia-UK ministerial talks were critical to the nations' shared interests. 'We take the world as it is – but together, we are working to shape it for the better,' Wong said. Under the $368bn Aukus program, Australia is scheduled to buy at least three Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines from the US from the early 2030s. The new Aukus-class nuclear submarines will be built first in the UK: Australia's first Aukus boat, to be built in Adelaide, is expected to be in the water in the early 2040s. But the planned sale of US-built boats has been thrown into doubt by the Trump administration launching a review into the deal to examine whether it aligns with his 'America first' agenda. The review is being headed by the Pentagon's undersecretary of defense for policy, Elbridge Colby, who has previously declared himself 'sceptical' about the deal, fearing it could leave US sailors exposed and under-resourced. The Aukus agreement mandates that before any submarine can be sold to Australia, the US commander-in-chief – the president of the day – must certify that America relinquishing a submarine will not diminish the US navy's undersea capability. Sign up to Afternoon Update Our Australian afternoon update breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what's happening and why it matters after newsletter promotion The US's submarine fleet numbers are a quarter below their target and the country is producing boats at half the rate it needs to service its own needs, US government figures show. Defence analysts believe the US is likely to re-commit to Aukus, but have speculated the review could demand further financial contributions – or political commitments such as avowed support for the US in a conflict with China over Taiwan – from Australia in exchange for the sale of nuclear submarines and transfer of nuclear technology. The UK's carrier strike group, led by the Royal Navy flagship HMS Prince of Wales, arrived in Darwin on Wednesday during Talisman Sabre multi-nation military exercises hosted by Australia. It's the first UK carrier strike group to visit Australia since 1997. The international task group includes five core ships, 24 jets and 17 helicopters, centred on the flagship aircraft carrier. Marles and Wong will on Sunday join their UK counterparts in Darwin to observe the group in action. UK High Commissioner to Australia, Sarah MacIntosh, said the strike group's arrival was a demonstration of commitment to the region and the strong relationship with Canberra. 'This is an anchor relationship in a contested world,' she said.
