It comes after Bruno accidentally swore live on the ITV show during Tuesday night's episode.

The 67-year-old dropped an expletive as he and his fellow judges were invited on stage to be a part of Andrew Stanton's controversial routine.

The judge seemed uneasy about taking part in the act as he was heard saying to music mogul Simon: "Oh f**king hell Simon, not again."

Simon then asked him: "What?", to which Bruno repeated: "Not again," referring to their continuous participation in the BGT acts.

The moment did not go unnoticed, and one fan tweeted: "I thought I heard Bruno swearing to Simon on stage about the act f***ing hell Simon not this again or something along those lines."

Another one said: "Did Bruno swear on the second night in a row on BGT?"

 On Wednesday night's show, hosts Ant and Dec called for a moment of silence so they could address and apologise for it.

Ant said: "Now before we carry on, we have to just say sorry if you heard a bit of choice language on this show last night."

He continued: "There will be none of that this evening,"

And now previous BGT winner Paul has jumped in and told : “He [Bruno] needs to ring it in because some of the show is before the watershed.

“Bruno calmed the jumping up and down a bit yesterday, but he needs to watch his language because it’s a family show."

Paul also said he feels he had an advantage when he appeared on the show 16 years ago.

“When I was on Britain’s Got Talent, it was only 300 to 400 people... there is great energy in the theatre,” he shared.

The Welsh star previously worked as a Carphone Warehouse manager before appearing on the talent show.

He amazed the judges with his rendition of Nessun Dorma and claimed the £100,000 prize money with a special spot in the Royal Variety Performance.

Since appearing on the show, he has gone on to sell millions of records worldwide.
