Ant and Dec halted on Saturday to make an announcement. The ITV hosts confirmed to the studio audience that Bruno Tonioli was back on the show after taking a short break.

YouTuber KSI had temporarily replaced Bruno as he had other work commitments. However, the former Strictly Come Dancing judge was back in his usual seat on Saturday.

KSI appeared in the first half of the ITV programme, but mid-way through fans were thrilled to see Bruno back in his seat alongside Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.

"Hello, Blackpool," Ant shouted to the audience as Dec continued: "Give him a huge welcome; it's Bruno Tonioli." The audience began to chant Bruno's name as Ant added: "They love you, and so do well."

Despite being pleased to have Bruno back on the judging panel, fans took to social media to praise KSI.

One fan said: "I like the KSI lad on here as a judge, as another agreed: "I wish KSI was a permanent judge."

Someone else added: "Could we not have @KSI as a permanent judge please."

One fan shared: "I already prefer KSI as a judge."

The third instalment of BGT was action-packed, and Ant and Dec weren't the only ones to interrupt the auditions.

Simon also halted one audition after an opera singer's nerves seemed to get the better of him. John Piece began to sing, but as his voice started to shake, Simon held up his hand to stop the audition.

"I think we should start this again," Simon asked, which is when the studio audience started booing.

However, John seemed to regain his confidence back and he began to belt out his song.

As the audition came to an end, all four judges stood up and applauded John for his performance.

After getting four yeses, Simon admitted to feeling a bit "emotional."

Britain's Got Talent returns next Saturday night and is available to watch on ITVX.
