BAFTA viewers startled by Bruno Tonioli's 'Trump-like' orange tan as he accepts award

BAFTA Award 2020 viewers were left gasping over Bruno Tonioli's "Trump" tan this evening.

Tonight, Strictly was awarded Best Entertainment programme this evening and Bruno was seen accepting the gong via video link.

But gobsmacked fans were distracted by Bruno's incredibly orange skin colour and flocked to Twitter to comment.

One wrote: "Bruno Tonioli looking Trump Tango #BAFTAS #BaftaTV."

While another commented: "Colour of Bruno !!!! #BaftaTV #bafta."

A third wrote: "Bruno's gone the full Trump. Never go the full Trump. #BAFTAs #BaftaTV."

"Emmmm, Bruno's tan?! #BaftaTV #strictlycomedancing," a fan questioned.

Another tweeted: "Bruno is orange.... #BaftaTV my household all gasped at the same time when he appeared on screen."

The first ever virtual BAFTAs kicked off tonight, with the red carpet replaced with the bog-standard carpet in celebrities' living rooms.

At the helm was host Richard Ayoade, who was clearly praying that everyone's internet connection would hold up.

Despite taking place at homes, celebrities certainly made the effort and glammed up in their glitziest outfits.

Only around six presenters were physically in the studio, with a pre-show starting on YouTube at 6pm.

The Inbetweeners and I'm A Celebrity star Emily Atack looked gorgeous as she posed up in her make up chair backstage.

Comedian Tom Allen was also on hand to help out backstage with his witty one-liners.

*BAFTAs is available to rewatch on BBC iPlayer
