Flu keeps Forsyth off Strictly

Bruce Forsyth
Strictly Come Dancing presenter Bruce Forsyth is to miss the show for the first time on Saturday night following a bout of flu.

Now BBC bosses are looking to find someone to replace the 81-year-old so his co-host Tess Daly is not left to present the show alone.

Forsyth, who is recovering at his home in Virginia Water, Surrey, has never missed an episode of the popular ballroom dancing contest which is now in its seventh series.

A BBC spokesman said: "Unfortunately, due to a bout of flu and on doctors' orders, Bruce will be unable to present Strictly Come Dancing this Saturday.

"However, Tess Daly will be stepping into his presenting shoes."
