Britain's Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli made a fanboy deal with Late Late Show host Patrick Kielty on Friday on RTÉ One - he will bring the winner of BGT to the Late Late if Jamie Dornan is also a guest on the night.
As the Italian choreographer gears up for the Britain's Got Talent live shows, he was asked if he thinks his Golden Buzzer act, teenage singer Maya Giotea, can win the competition.
"The talent is incredible," Tonioli replied. "The dancers, singers, comedians - it's so competitive."
"Now when we go live, we have the best of the best," he continued.
"I just can't wait to see what they're going to do because you already have an image in your head, some expectations. And what they have to do, the way they have to exceed those expectations... but, as well, they have to stand out. And when there is so much talent, what are they going to do to capture the audience's imagination? Those are the ones that are going to win. It's the one that really captures the moment and people are going to remember them."
"Will you come back and see us when you maybe win it with one of your acts?" asked Kielty.
"When I win it?!" laughed Tonioli. "Well, I haven't done anything! Well, I hope so if she wins - is that a deal?"
"Ok, that's a deal," said Kielty.
Ah Patrick we'd take you over Jamie Dornan any day 👀🤣#latelate pic.twitter.com/IV1p10ifrm

"Are you going to bring Jamie Dornan on?!" inquired Tonioli, having earlier told Kielty that he thinks The Tourist star has better hips for dancing.
"This is the second time [you've mentioned him]!" laughed Kielty to cheers. "That's a deal! I think that's a deal. If you bring us the winner of Britain's Got Talent, I'll get you Jamie Dornan!"
