Speaking to the Daily Mail, Tonioli spoke about leaving Strictly and moving his focus to his judging role on US show Dancing With The Stars, which films around the same time of year in America. Emmerdale’s Kelvin Fletcher and Kids TV presenter Karim Zeroual are still in the running to be crowned champion, as are Eastenders star Emma Barton, comedian Chris Ramsey and football pundit Alex Scott.

Battisti is exemplary of Italian popular music and well able to mediate his country’s take on contemporary music to UK audiences. Yet the idea that British people have particular associations of what Italian music means does chime with me too. The songbook CD, then, features Italian songs – but many of the versions included are by singers like Dean Martin, Doris Day and Engelbert Humperdinck and not the (obviously) Italian singers who Italian audiences would associate with these tracks. Michelle, who found herself embroiled in a Twitter spat with James Jordan after being axed by the judges, cheekily joked with Kelvin Fletcher he would be ‘sent packing’ if he attempted voguing after he suggested performing the dance with partner Oti Mabuse. Revealing that he trained as a singer while growing up in Italy, Bruno explained the kind of album he would like to make.It’s also been suggested that Jamie Laing and Will Bayley – who both had to pull out of the 2019 series on medical grounds – might also sign up for a second shot at the Glitterball Trophy. Rose Ayling-Ellis, who competed alongside Giovanni Pernice, was the first deaf winner of Strictly Come Dancing. BBC are yet to confirm the judging line-up, but a source recently claimed Bruno, Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse will all be back to their seats.

Bruno is renowned for his larger-than-life personality on the BBC dance show, and when it comes to judging he is never afraid to say exactly what he thinks of the couples' dances.There’s no new talent at that level like George Michael, I think the girls are cornering the market,” he said.

RuPaul’s Drag Race star Michelle Visage was recently controversially eliminated following her dance routine to Madonna’s Vogue and threw some shade at the show earlier this week. Tonioli has also held a spot on the Dancing With The Stars panel since its launch in 2005, resulting in frequent flying back and forth between the UK and the US while both shows were running.They’re set to be rejoined by Motsi Mabuse who made her debut on the BBC series last year, taking over from Dame Darcey Bussell. On Strictly Come Dancing, Tonioli has never awarded a '9' when every other judge has awarded a '10', although this has happened on multiple occasions on Dancing With the Stars. And now, Bruno wants to follow up that performance with a whole album, which he thinks could compete on the charts due to what he believes is a gap in the market.

Bruno admits he could easily rush out an album, but wants to make sure his output is “at the level” of Strictly and the show’s tour. For one week during both series 16 and series 17 of Strictly Come Dancing, he was replaced by guest judge Alfonso Ribeiro, due to a broadcasting conflict between the two shows.
