Britain’s Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli is used to showing off his moves on stage, but he was treated to a performance of his own when a magic act turned out to be a striptease.
On Saturday night’s episode of the long-running talent series, the former Strictly Come Dancing judge was asked on stage alongside Amanda Holden by ‘magicians’ Rocky and Billy.
While Billy shared his day job is working selling garden furniture and Rocky is a language teacher, they explained how they wanted to focus on magic and how it was a ‘crucial part’ of both of their lives.
Before strutting on stage, the pair said they would love to win the competition, and later told the judges they were about to witness a magical moment.
Starting off their performance, the duo called up the two judges and asked them to each take a seat.
While Bruno had absolutely no interest in whatever was about to happen, he quickly changed his mind.
After carrying on the act and asking Amanda to choose a number between 1 and 5, her choice corresponded with the word pony.
Although everyone was waiting for an animal to appear, instead it was a man who was revealed when the curtain Rocky and Billy had been holding came down.
Ginuwine’s 1996 hit Pony then started playing, and everyone obviously wondered what was going on.
Cue lots of confused expressions.
But as more men started appearing on stage it became clear this was a magic show of a very different kind.
As the men started dancing and stripping, Bruno attempted his own dance moves, leaning back on his chair and spreading his legs as he showed off too.
While Alesha Dixon laughed along, Simon Cowell smiled as he covered his face with his hand.
Three dancers then surrounded Bruno and he looked pretty happy with the fact he’d been chosen to witness the act up close.
Meanwhile Amanda didn’t quite know where to look.
As the performance came to a close, people in the audience jumped to their feet while Billy revealed what had become obvious and that they weren’t actually a magic act.
‘That was genius,’ Alesha exclaimed.
‘You made my night and you made everybody’s night,’ Bruno excitedly shouted out.
When Simon turned to Bruno to ask his verdict, he didn’t flinch: ‘Oh, what do you think? YES.’
The two women agreed, with the act sent through to the next round.
Britain’s Got Talent continues on Sunday at 8pm on ITV.
