August 21, 2020 - 15:31 BST Emmy Griffiths Fans have been concerned that Bruno Tonioli wouldn't be unable to take part in Strictly Come Dancing this year, as he lives in the US and therefore would be unable to travel to the UK and social distance safely during the lockdown. However, the judge has revealed that he will indeed be involved this year, and will join the show remotely from LA for Sunday night's Results show each week before returning as a judge towards the end of the series.
Bruno's fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood recently revealed that he thinks social distancing will help improve the competition. Chatting on Yahoo UK's White Wine Question Time, he said: "It’ll be very focussed on their dancing which I think will bring out better results to be honest... As you know, the judges are kept in a separate part of the building anyway so we don’t bump into celebrities… If I do I generally get abuse so it’s safer for me to be isolated.
