Bruno Tonioli looked in great spirits on Friday night as he headed home following a night out at London’s Chiltern Firehouse.
The TV star, 68, beamed broadly after having reunited with his former Strictly Come Dancing co-stars including Janette Manara, who also enjoyed an evening at the swanky celebrity hotspot.
Dressed in a jazzy taupe and black shirt and black trousers, the Britain’s Got Talent judge was on fine form as he posed with fans outside.
After dining at the eatery, Bruno playfully tussled with an enthusiastic admirer as he made his way to his car.
He then hopped into his stylish blue sports car before zooming off into the night.

It comes as Strictly is currently facing its biggest crisis in its 20 years, as a wave of complaints from past celebrity contestants have been made in recent months over claims of ‘abuse’ and ‘bullying’.
Professional Graziano Di Prima, 30, was axed from the show following claims he hit and spat at his dancing partner Zara McDermott, 27, during rehearsals.
Further reports said he had been accused of ‘chasing’ after Zara while ‘screaming abuse,’ leaving her so frightened that she ‘locked herself in a toilet’, as well as ‘called her nasty names, asked if she had gained weight and was forceful’ leaving her ‘visibly demoralised’ and ‘in tears.’
Graziano later admitted to kicking the Love Island star and apologised to her in a statement, but added other allegations do not align with ‘how he remembers it.’
Zara herself previously claimed in a statement there had been ‘particular incidents inside the training room which were incredibly distressing’, but did not report the incidents at the time as she was ‘scared’ of backlash.
Weeks before, Giovanni Pernice, 33, was suspended while a BBC probe is conducted over claims of off-camera misconduct made by Amanda Abbington, 50, and two other former celeb partners.

The actress recently appeared in an emotionally charged interview with Channel 4, where she compared the show to ‘the trenches’ and claims BBC producers had been left ‘horrified’ by clips that also allegedly exhibited ‘humiliating behaviour of a sexual nature’.
The Sherlock star sensationally quit the dance competition last year citing ‘personal reasons’ before reports surfaced that she had demanded footage of her rehearsals after the experience with the show and her dance partner left her with PTSD.
Giovanni, who has strongly denied any threatening or abusive behaviour, stepped down from the show, with the BBC later launching a probe over claims of off-camera misconduct made by Amanda as well as other celebrities.
Amanda has now claimed claimed that Giovanni was trying to her legal team from accessing up to 50 hours of ‘toxic’ footage’ after producers were forced to put cameras in the dance studio after following her bullying complaint to the BBC.
A spokesperson for Giovanni refuted the claims, saying: ‘The BBC has shared the allegations they have been able to substantiate with us. They do not resemble Amanda’s latest allegations, given to Channel 4, in any shape or form. Giovanni refutes any claim of threatening or abusive behaviour.’
