Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli is of course known for being flamboyant and outspoken, and during an appearance on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories tonight, he’s no different as he reveals he fancies former footballer Gary Lineker.
The show, which airs at 9pm on ITV1, will also see Bruno talking about his life and his career as a dancer and choreographer who’s worked with some of the biggest names in showbusiness, including the Rolling Stones, Freddie Mercury and Elton John. He even teaches Piers a few moves!
We’ll also see him speaking candidly about realising that he was gay during his childhood, and how his sexuality made him a target for bullies… Read more & comment »

Cheryl Cole will have to top up her mobile today, because we dare say she’ll use a LOT of credit as she constantly hits the redial button when her pal Kimberley Walsh performs on Strictly Come Dancing this evening.
The Girls Aloud star will be going head to head with Louis Smith, Dani Harmer and Denise Van Outen in the series finale and Chez is fully backing her bandmate to win.
She tweeted:

Bruno Tonioli has been praising Dani Harmer ahead of Saturday night’s Strictly Come Dancing final.
The Italian Stallion has been a big fan of the Tracey Beaker star for the last few weeks and on the semi final compared the pint sized actress to legendary dancer Ginger Rogers.
She danced twice on the penultimate performance show and Bruno can’t believe how much she has grown up over the course of the series.
Speaking on It Takes Two he said:

Bruno Tonioli has been praising Strictly Come Dancing hopeful Kimberley Walsh.
The judge and choreographer has been impressed by the Girls Aloud star of late, and apparently so have the rest of the panel. She’s topped the leaderboard for two weeks running and the Italian stallion told Zoe Ball that she brought a touch of old style Hollywood to the BBC show last weekend.
Speaking on It Takes Two he said:

Bruno Tonioli thinks that Louis Smith has some big improvements to make if he wants to win Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.
The Olympic medal winning gymnast is bookies favourite to lift the glitter ball trophy in just a few days time but the Italian judge thinks he still has some areas of weakness he needs to work on, if he wants to be a truly deserving champion for 2012.
Speaking on It Takes Two last night Tonioli explained:

Bruno Tonioli cannot understand how Denise Van Outen ended up in the bottom two on Sunday night.
The blonde beauty found herself in the danceoff against Lisa Riley on the semi final results show and it was the second time she had been there. The week before she competed against Nicky Byrne and thankfully on both occasions the judges unanimously voted to save the mum of one.
Judge Bruno scored Denise two tens for her routines with professional partner James Jordan at the weekend and speaking tonight on It Takes Two he admitted that he doesn’t know why she isn’t bringing in the public votes.

Bruno Tonioli has admitted that he can’t have imagined a better Strictly Come Dancing series when the shows kicked off earlier this year.
The Italian Stallion has judged on the BBC show ever since it’s inception and is currently doing a weekly transatlantic commute as he stars in the UK version and the American ‘Dancing With The Stars.’
On Saturday night Denise Van Outen, Louis Smith, Dani Harmer and Kimberley Walsh will battle it out in the finale, all four competing for the glitterball trophy and bruno has no idea who will take it.

This weekend is of course the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing, and with the end now very much in sight, judge Bruno Tonioli has given his verdicts on the finalists as well as on fellow judge – and newbie this year – Darcey Bussell.
He also had a few kind words to say about veteran host and entertainer, Sir Bruce Forsyth, who it was feared may have had to miss last night’s show due to having ‘flu, but he of course rallied and did in fact appear.
Of Bruce, and the prospect that this could be the 82 year old star’s last year on SCD, Bruno said, “Bruce is very professional. He won’t let his audience down and will know when he can’t deliver any more.
“But he is a national treasure and it is only up to him to make that decision… Read more & comment »

Fans of Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli will know that he flies to and fro between the States and the UK so that he can work on both our homegrown SCD and America’s Dancing With The Stars…
And in light of rumours that Simon Cowell may do likewise in order to participate in both X Factor USA and UK next year, Bruno has warned that it’s a grueling undertaking, and he apparently doesn’t think Simon’s up to it!
Speaking to TV Biz, Bruno said, “I don’t think Simon could ever do it.
“For the past two months when I’ve been working in America, I turn up for Strictly on the Saturday and am gone by Sunday.
“I know when I did my own show Dance X, and was involved in production, there was so much more work to do… Read more & comment »
