Simon Cowell and Bruno Tonioli looked in good spirits as they departed Britain’s Got Talent auditions on Saturday night in London.

The music mogul, 63, and new judge, 67, smiled and waved as they greeted fans on their way out of the London Palladium, where filming is currently taking place.

Simon once again looked strikingly different as he paused for pictures and continued to showcase his slim physique after adopting a healthier lifestyle.

Keeping the cold at bay, Simon wore a grey jumper pulled over his trademark high-waisted black trousers. 

He also added some height to his frame with slightly heeled smart shoes. 

Simon has recently lost three-stone and shocked fans with his radically different features in recent weeks. 

Meanwhile, new judge Bruno joined his fellow panellist as he waved to the cameras while leaving after another day of filming.

He cut a casual figure in a grey tracksuit and paired bundled up in a leopard print coat.

He kept comfortable in a pair of black boots and completed his look with a navy baseball cap and square sunglasses. 

Bruno joined the show on a reported salary of £850,000 after being offered the job only eleven days before filming began. 

BGT host Ant McPartlin was also spotted as he left the Palladium with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett and got into a taxi.

It comes after Bruno made an awkward gaffe during the first day of filming earlier this week as he pushed the golden buzzer too early.

Bruno created some trouble when he pushed the buzzer too early for one act, warm-up act Adam Khan reported.

They said Bruno had pressed the Golden Buzzer too early to avoid being beaten to the chase by Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon, and so had pressed it during the act.

As a result, the moment had to be recorded all over again so that the cameras could be set up properly.

Adam tweeted: ‘So… I just witnessed #BGT history!!! An act came on… it was pretty clear Alesha and Simon both wanted to press the#GoldenBuzzer…

‘So Bruno beat them to it and pressed it *during the act*! They were performing with confetti falling on them and the BGT theme playing in the back!’

‘We now have to re-record the #GoldenBuzzer moment because no cameras were properly in place as nobody expected it to happen during the act.’

Elsewhere inside the first day of auditions, Ant and Dec introduced the four judges to the stage as they walked out to Survivor’s Eye Of The Tiger.

Jesting that Simon has ‘teased’ him with the job for years, one fan filmed from the audience as Bruno told the audience: ‘Thank you very, very much. I am thrilled to be here.

Turning to Amanda and Alesha, he continued: ‘Look at these girls, they are stunning. And my old friend Simon, what an honour it is to finally work with you, he’s teased me with this for years, years and years and years.  

‘Honestly, I am thrilled to be here. Emotional, and very, very nervous.’

While Alesha then shared: ‘Well, do you know what Bruno? I think you should have a go at pressing the buzzer.’

The judges and audience then counted him down as the pro pushed on the buzzer, with Alesha adding: ‘Welcome to the show’, before he thanked his fellow panel and gave them each a hug.

It comes after it was reported Bruno would triple the salary he received on Strictly Come Dancing by joining the ITV judging panel.

The former Strictly judge replaced David Walliams, who left the show last year, after ITV bosses who wanted comedian Alan Carr were overruled by boss Simon Cowell. 

Bruno, who is said to be ‘delighted’ to return to Saturday night prime time TV in the UK, will now overshadow his former Strictly co-stars wage by three times with his reported £850,000 pay packet.

Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel-Horwood, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke are all believed to earn £250,000 per series on the Strictly judging panel.
