Tonioli was wowed by Ugandan dance act Ghetto Kids and decided to give them the coveted shortcut straight through to the live shows, but he wasn\u2019t aware that the judges are supposed to wait until after the performance to hit the button.<\/p>\n
This allows the act to finish their audition as planned before the golden confetti is unleashed, with the members of Ghetto Kids striving to complete their dance as it rained down around them.<\/p>
Tonioli, who previously judged on BBC One\u2019s Strictly Come Dancing, explained the mishap (via OK!<\/a>): \u201cAlesha gave me a brief, but then I forgot everything she told me! I think that was obvious when I pressed my golden buzzer at the wrong time on the first day!<\/p>\n \u201cThey were like, \u2018Here are the rules, you press it then, not then.\u2019 But that went out the window. I honestly got caught up in the moment, forgot everything I\u2019d been told and just reacted instinctively.\u201d<\/p>\n Tonioli added: \u201cI looked up, Simon was in stitches, Alesha looked shocked! But that really happened. I mean, it wasn\u2019t planned. I honestly had no idea I\u2019d do that in the moment.<\/p>\n \u201cAnyway, Simon tells the crowd there\u2019s no rules, to forget what they\u2019ve been told and act badly behaved, so I listened! Come on, he\u2019s the boss!\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Tonioli was hired to replace David Walliams on Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/a>, after the Little Britain alum made \u201cinappropriate\u201d comments<\/a> about an act during a previous round of auditions.<\/p>\n He departed the Strictly Come Dancing judging panel during the pandemic when travel restrictions prevented him from appearing due to a commitment to US version Dancing with the Stars.<\/p> ![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/04\/britainsgottalentsr16ep122-a47963b.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
