Bruno Tonioli has explained his reasons for leaving Strictly Come Dancing behind as the BBC show judge spoke out on the news fellow dancer Anton Du Beke will be replacing him permanently. Along with Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno is one of the original pros who sat on the panel for every season until 2020, when the panel was one down. Anton, 55, then took over the 2021 season while the Italian star was working in America and earlier this week it was confirmed that the pro dancer would remain as a judge for good. And now after 18 years on the hugely-popular dance competition, Bruno, 66, admitted he finds the travel too tough.

With an incredibly tiring commuter schedule, the ballroom dancer said it simply "got too much" for him. Speaking to The Sun, Bruno shared: "I'm done. I just can’t do it anymore.
Going back and forth was too much." The star had been taking the 10-hour flight backwards and forwards between London and Los Angeles ever since he started working on Dancing With The Stars in 2005. In response to what he thought of his replacement, Bruno added to the publication: "Anton is brilliant. He will be brilliant." It comes as Bruno confirmed it was "his decision" during an appearance on The One Show.
"Unfortunately Dancing With The Stars has moved over to Disney+ to stream live," he said, going on to explain the travel restrictions last year were "impossible" and "getting through airports was not what it used to be".
