News about Bruce Forsyth

Julian Mead, 40, is also charged with attempted murder and making threats with an offensive weapon. Emergency crews dashed to Bells Lane in the Cinderhill district of Nottingham shortly before 9.30pm on October 1 after reports of an assault. The injured woman, in her 40s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. And shortly after the attack, a dog was reported stolen from a nearby house.

Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly has revealed that she can sometimes tell who will win each series 'as early as the launch show'. Tess, 55, has presented BBC's Strictly Come Dancing since its 2004 inception and was initially joined by Bruce Forsyth. Claudia Winkleman joined the duo in 2011, and Bruce left the show after its 2013 series before passing away four years later at the age of 89.  

Dressed in a £30,000 dress (pictured left), Holly Willoughby , 43, made a triumphant red carpet return at London 's O2 to present the Bruce Forsyth entertainment award to I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here. To the delight of fans, the evening was just like old times for the presenter as she reunited with her former ITV colleagues, including Dermot O'Leary (pictured bottom inset) , Rochelle Humes, and Alison Hammond (pictured right). But for her ex-ITV co-host, Phillip Schofield (pictured right inset) , talk of her glittering red carpet return at the NTA Awards may bring a hint of FOMO, because just a couple of years ago, it would have been him alongside Holly at the centre of the event.

Torquay's tourism industry began in the 19th century. The town's mild climate and picture-perfect beaches first attracted wealthy tourists looking to glean health benefits from a holiday by the sea. Over time, Torquay evolved to entice a wider range of customers, becoming popular with holidaying factory workers. But in the 1960s, the town began to face stiff competition from cheap overseas resorts. Despite these challenges, Torquay is still a popular English destination. Read on to see a snapshot of the seaside resort during - and after - its tourism boom, from a packed promenade in 1922 to Bruce Forsyth hosting a beach beauty contest in 1957...

Holly Willoughby was 'eyed up by bosses for a while', it has been revealed, as it was confirmed in August that she will return to ITV for a new gameshow. The former This Morning presenter, 43, has signed on with her Dancing On Ice co-host Stephen Mulhern to present a reboot of a '90s ITV classic. The duo will head You Bet!, based on German game show Wetten, dass..?, and previously fronted by Darren Day, as well as the late Bruce Forsyth and Matthew Kelly. Speaking about her return to the channel, she said: 'I'm so excited to be part of this iconic game show with the fabulous Stephen Mulhern. 'I'm looking forward to seeing the astonishing skills on show from the challengers and which of our celebrity panellists can come out on top.'

Previously fronted by Darren Day, as well as the late Bruce Forsyth and Matthew Kelly, the beloved programme will return to ITV1 and ITVX with two action-packed primetime event specials this Autumn. As the classic show gets a revival, members of the public will use their unique abilities to pull off the most outrageous challenges imaginable, all for the chance of winning a big cash prize.

Strictly Come Dancing took viewers down memory lane on Saturday as the BBC aired the show's first ever episode to celebrate its landmark 20th anniversary - and fans are all saying the same thing. Viewers couldn't get over the 'carnage' they witnessed and how brutal the judges used to be with their comments. The hit Latin and ballroom show first aired on 15 May 2004 and has come a long way since.

Holly Willougby is set to return to ITV to front a brand new show alongside her Dancing On Ice co-host Stephen Mulhern.The duo will be presenting a reboot of the iconic 90s challenge show, You Bet!, which was previously fronted by Darren Day, as well as the late Bruce Forsyth and Matthew Kelly.

Twenty years ago I burst into the meeting of senior newspaper executives and announced to a group of mostly middle-aged males that I had just seen a programme that would change Saturday night TV viewing for ever. It was a ballroom dancing competition, I explained, in which novices were partnered with professional dancers and they all competed for a glitterball trophy. As I gushed about the show's other magical elements - the sequins, the make-up, the live music, the gorgeous gowns - I was greeted not with enthusiasm but a sea of bemused expressions. Even when I mentioned that it would be hosted by the legendary Bruce Forsyth, complete with his new catchphrase 'Keeeep dancing!', I failed to make an impression. I had, of course, watched the first ever episode of Strictly Come Dancing and was so entranced that I predicted that it would eclipse Simon Cowell's domination of Saturday nights.

Antiques Roadshow has seen a host of famous faces front the programme since it first hit our TV screens back in 1979. Here, MailOnline looks at all of the previous hosts of Antiques Roadshow and where they are now..

Bruno Tonioli, 68, grew close to Sir Bruce Forsyth when he was a judge on Strictly Come Dancing - so when Britain's Got Talent was filming at the London Palladium he visited his ashes. 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.

Sir Paul also came up with the idea of BBC Sports Personality Of The Year and served as controller of BBC One. BBC Director-General Tim Davie has paid tribute to him as 'one of the best TV executives from a golden era in television'. Sir Paul was also a founding editor of sports show Grandstand. Mr Davie said: 'Sir Paul had a towering career in television - not just with the BBC - but across the industry.'

These are the lavish, emptied mansions that have turned part of Britain's most exclusive residential district into a ghost town. The luxurious multi-million homes are located on Surrey's pristine Wentworth estate, home to the wealthy and famous, but many have been left in a state of decay with their owners unable to live in them. Straidarran, one of the most prominent estate on the island, belonged to Sir Bruce Forsyth, where he spent his remaining years, but it has now fallen into a sad shape after it was sold by his widow Wilnelia for £5.7 million in April 2020.

As the big five-ohr.com approached in 2015, I was beginning to feel the commotion and bustle of my London life was exhausting. I started yearning for something a little more quiet. Don't get me wrong, I loved living in my little pink two-down in Camden, North London, for 20 years. But I am a born entertainer, and there is nothing more satisfying than rustling up spag bol or curry for 20-plus people. I longed for the day I had space to prepare special menus plate by plate rather than buffet style.

93 pets were stolen from owners in Hounslow from January to November this year, out of a total of 654 in London in the same period. Brent was the next worst borough for pet thefts at 50, while Islington had 37, making it the third highest, and Bromley and Lambeth were joint fourth with 28 reported pet thefts. In comparison, Richmond upon Thames and Havering were the safest boroughs to have a pet, with only six burglaries since January. With 335 stolen from January to November this year, dogs were the most common victim of pet robbery. The total number has decreased significantly from 2022, when it hit the highest number on record with 1713 animals reported stolen.

All the Strictly judges know how to get their groove on, but one judge is going down a different route, swapping their dancing shoes for the microphone. Anton Du Beke is releasing his second studio album, six years after his debut album was bombed. In 2017, the actor's debut album From The Top, which included hits such as Putting On The Ritz and Me & My Shadow, which he first performed with Bruce Forsyth in Strictly series six, debuted.

The Durley Grange Hotel's 12-bedroom Grade II-listed Georgian mansion, where he was living until his eviction last year, is a far cry from the 12-bedroom Georgian mansion, which was pictured on Google maps and garish carpets. But, as the 49-year-old Old Etonian tells me in painfully truth, 'needs must' when you find yourself falling from Big Top to rock bottom. Billy Smart, the legendary 1950s showman and son of playboy multimillionaire Billy Smart Jr., grew up in large homes in London, Monaco, Marbella, and Florida. Prince Andrew swam in his family's pool, Ringo Starr taught him to play the drums, and Bruce Forsyth was his godfather. However, although he has been ruminating his way into the family fortune, BJ, as he has been known since childhood, has just £200 to his name. He now has no definite place in a flitt' between friends' sofas and budget hotels. His only possessions are a rucksack of clothes and an Apple notebook with a 27-inch screen that he lugs around under his arm. Having slept rough in a 20-year-old Nissan Micra for many months, the Travelodges in Suffolk and a Berkshire M4 service station have been recent haunts, until price hikes forced him to leave.

In the first King's Speech in the House of Lords this morning, Charles, 74, met with MPs and peers. He was the first British monarch to speak to MPs and peers in the House of Lords. He was joined by his wife Queen Camilla, 76, and his sister Princess Anne, 73, who reprised her role as Gold-Stick-in-Waiting, which she appeared at the Coronation in May. However, the Princess Royal was not the only heir to the monarch's lineage. Several pages of Honour, including the one on his throne, served in the same way at the Coronation in London. Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, Nicholas Barclay, Ralph Tollemache, Ralph Tollemache, and Charles van Cutsem were charged with the job, while schoolboys wearing traditional uniforms.

Mike Yarwood was known as the'man of a thousand famous faces.' He knew exactly how to imitate Harold Wilson's Yorkshire accent, and did an uncanny Bob Monkhouse smirk, nailed Bruce Forsyth's demeanor. Prince Charles's impression was so good that Diana told him she 'laughed until she cried' at one of his Royal Variety Performance sketches. And his television shows were so popular that they earned a record 21.4 million viewers on 1977 Christmas Day. Two little blonde girls, however, had no idea of the glamors of their father's fame back home in Bredbury, Cheshire. Mike, who died last month at the age of 82, was simply 'dad'.
