BRITAIN’S Got Talent’s judges leave the auditions — as it was revealed Amanda Holden mocked newcomer Bruno Tonioli by calling him “Bruno Tortellini”.
But the Italian, 67, was not fazed by the insult and said: “Bruno Tagliatelle, Bruno Tortellini, I’ve been called worse.”
Amanda’s quip came during Friday’s auditions at the London Palladium.
Meanwhile, Alesha Dixon, 44, who sits next to Bruno on the panel, complained about him repeatedly grabbing her arm as he enthusiastically commented on acts.
She said: “My arm’s going to be numb by the end of this.”

Amanda, 51, and Alesha are said to be unhappy with the £850,000 pay packet given to Bruno for replacing David Walliams.
But Bruno, seen deep in conversation with head judge Simon Cowell, 63, said: “They say you’re only as good as the people you work with and these are the best.”
