Bruno Tonioli visited Bruce Forsyth's ashes to pay his respects when he was filming Britain's Got Talent, the Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Mr Tonioli, 68, grew close to Sir Bruce when he was a judge on Strictly Come Dancing - so when BGT was filming at the London Palladium he took the opportunity to go and see him.
Sir Bruce's ashes were laid beneath the stage at the famous West End venue a year after his death from pneumonia in August 2017.
It was the perfect resting place as he first hosted Sunday Night at the London Palladium in 1958 and performed his one man show for the last time there in 2015.
He passed away at the age of 89 after a career spanning more than 70 years. He hosted Strictly Come Dancing for 15 years, with Mr Tonioli a judge from 2004.

Tonioli said Bruce Forsyth had spotted something in him when they first started working together and thanked him for helping his career
Now the Italian is performing the same role on BGT, which returned to ITV last night for its 17th series.
