Sir Bruce Forsyth: TV legend dies aged 89


Sir Bruce Forsyth: TV legend dies aged 89


Sir Bruce Forsyth, the veteran entertainer and presenter of many successful TV shows, has died aged 89.

The former Strictly Come Dancing presenter had been unwell for some time and was in hospital earlier this year after a severe chest infection.

His long career in showbusiness began when he was aged just 14.
He became Britain's best-paid TV star, famous for hosting game shows like The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and The Price is Right.

He also presented BBC One's Strictly with Tess Daly from 2004 to 2014.
Sir Bruce had not been seen in public recently, due to ill health. He was too frail to attend the funerals of close friends Ronnie Corbett and Sir Terry Wogan last year.

In 2015, the presenter underwent keyhole surgery after suffering two aneurysms, which were discovered following a fall at his Surrey home.


In an interview last October, his wife said he was still having "a bit of a problem moving". She said: "He's in incredible shape mentally but he gets very tired."

Michael Buble's son Noah diagnosed with cancer at the age of three

Michael ichael Buble's son Noah has been diagnosed with cancer after an unexpected trip to the doctor took a shocking turn for the worse.
Little Noah, who just turned three in September, had travelled to the US with his mum, Luisana Lopilato, and dad Michael after they raised concerns about his health.
In a statement posted on Luisana's Facebook, Michael said: "We are devastated by the recent cancer diagnosis of our eldest son Noah who is currently in treatment in the United States.

"We've always talked a lot about the importance of the family and the love we have for our children.
"Luisana and I are going to spend all our time and attention to help Noah to get better, by suspending our professional activities for now.
"During this difficult time, we ask that you pray for him and please respect our privacy. We have a long road ahead of us and we hope that with the support of our family, friends, fans around the world and our faith in God, we can win this battle."
It comes a year after Noah was hospitalised with serious burns after he climbed on their kitchen worktop and poured boiling water over himself.
Michael, who was in the US at the time, dropped everything to fly home to Argentina to be with his family.

Noah luckily avoided having skin grafts to treat his six per cent burns, but still needed daily dressings to heal his scalded skin.
After Noah's recovery, Luisana admitted that she often asks herself how the accident happened, and said the little boy "complains" every day when she's dressing his wounds.
"At one point the doctors told me they'd have to do skin grafts but thank God it started healing little by little. For a long time he has to use elastic bands pressed tight so he's not left with scars," she added.

Since then, Michael and Luisana have had their second baby boy , Elias Buble, born in January 2016.
In an interview earlier this year, 29-year-old Lopilato said she and her husband are "a little weird about our kids".
She told PageSix.com: "We love to be with our kids a lot. When we are out for one hour, we miss them."
Lopilato added that she and Buble do not work at the same time, and that she goes everywhere with her children.

In Buble At The BBC, the singer told host Claudia Winkleman he "just didn't know that level of love existed".
He said of his sons: "I just love them so much that part of loving them so much is not giving them everything they want and that is a tough thing for me."

But in this sweet clip, we see the wonderful bond between Michael and his eldest son.
The singer said: "Ladies and gentleman, I promised I'd get someone out to do a bit of a duet with me.
"I promised him, I said. 'dude if you have your nap I'll let you sing'."

Fans in the crowd guessed what he was getting at and starting shouting, "Noah, Noah, Noah".

STRICTLY COME DANCING 2014 - CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN WILL REPLACE BRUCE FORSYTH



Claudia Winkleman confirmed as replacement for Sir Bruce Forsyth as host of BBC Strictly Come Dancing alongside Tess Daly - what do you think of the news? ‪#‎SCD
 

BBC1 boss Charlotte Moore said the duo were “natural successors” to Strictly’s presenting line up after the veteran broadcaster's decision to step down
 Claudia Winkleman will join Tess Daly to host Strictly Come Dancing, the first all-female duo to front a prime-time Saturday night show.

BBC bosses confirmed that Claudia will conduct post-dance interviews while Tess will step into the shoes of Sir Bruce Forsyth to introduce the dances and probe the judges.

The pair, who will both be paid around £250,000 a year, already host the Sunday night results show together and were “natural successors” for the new series, which returns in the autumn.
Claudia, 42, said: “I have loved Strictly since the second it appeared on our screens. I’m thrilled to be part of the Saturday night team.”

The mum-of-three added: “Working with Tess is fantastic and I can’t wait to spend the weekends with her, our amazing dancers and the greatest judging panel on the planet.”

Tess, 45 and a mum-of-two, said: “I’m so pleased that I’ll be working with Claudia – it’s really exciting having two women host the show.
"And we are great mates – so there’ll be lots of fun to be had on and off the dance floor.”
Sir Bruce, 86, stepped down last month, saying the live shows were too tiring. But he will return for the Children In Need and Christmas specials.

BBC1 boss Charlotte Moore said: “Tess and Claudia are a fantastic duo and natural successors to Strictly’s presenting line up now that Sir Bruce has decided to step down.
"Their commitment and passion for the show make them the perfect pairing to take Strictly into a new era.”

Tess and Claudia are the second female presenting double-act to be joining BBC1 - this summer Mel Geidroyc and Sue Perkins will host The Great British Bake Off after moving to the channel from BBC2.
