RARE PHOTOS: Bruno tonioli explains reason behind leaving strictly come dancing after 18 years | Vintage Vibes

Bruno Tonioli star of Strictly Come Dancing has announced on the One Show that he will not be returning to the BBC flagship show after 18 years to focus on his judging duties on the US version. Fans were left shocked and gutted after the star announced he would no longer be appearing on the show.

The Italian star pulled out of the most recent BBC series over travel restrictions between Britain and the US, where he is a judge on Dancing With The Stars. The Strictly judge admitted when questioned by host Ronan Keating that he 'Can't guarantee he will be back' and he 'Will not be gone forever'

One fan on twitter said: "Oh, Bruno, I’ll miss you so much but hopefully you will make a guest appearance at some point. Take care."
