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.

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.

CRAIG REVEL HORWOOD, a celebrity spotter, wanted to land a'ma-zing' country estate in the middle of nowhere... until he became Strictly Spooked!

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 3, 2024
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.

'I survived Eton so this is a walk in the park', says Billy Smart circus heir who went from living in a 12-bedroom Georgian mansion to flitting between friends' sofas and budget hotels in spectacular fall from grace

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 19, 2023
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.

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'.
