Strictly’s Bruno Tonioli reveals NONE of his fellow judges have contacted him since he pulled out of next series
STRICTLY's Bruno Tonioli has revealed none of his fellow judges have been in touch since he was sidelined for the upcoming series.
Covid travel restrictions mean Bruno, 65, must currently remain in the US. The uncertainty around the travel rules prompted BBC bosses to act fast to find a replacement in Anton du Beke.
And in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Bruno revealed Motsi Mabuse, Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood haven't reached out to him since the decision was made.
He said: “I haven’t heard from them. But I’m not going to cry, we all have very separate lives.
“And they have given very supportive messages in the Press.
“I will see Craig anyway because of our ITV project together. The girls are fine — we’re all professionals. Ultimately, they all know that the priority is to make the show work.”

Bruno is relaxed about his future on the show and remains busy with his judging role on Dancing With The Stars over in the States.
He won't be spending any time watching the UK version of the show when it returns.
“Watching Anton would be not fair," he said. "It’d be weird, like watching an ex with someone new — you just get on with it honey.
“It’ll do me no good as people will ask me what I think and I don’t want to stick my nose in when I’m not part of it. I think it’s very naff."
