Sir Bruce Forsyth

[Caribeing]

Just read that Bruce has stepped down from doing next series of Strictly. I think he will be missed as he contributed vastly to the show, lets hope they get a good replacement!

[jagjag]

Good news at last,can stop taping and fast forwarding it. I do hope it is Anton that replaces him and Claudia replaces Tess.

[Jomlett]

John Barrowman's a shoe in for the job!

[Zacs-Master]

//he contributed vastly to the show//

Which one was that then?

[dave1948]

Joey Barton ? He knows everything so dancing wouldn't be a problem !

[ladybirder]

Dermot O'Leary for me.

I heard a rumour that it was - try and keep it a secret - Mrs Sqad. She will be flying in from her villa each week.

I totally agree with Ummmm - let Adrian, er, Chiles, er, do it. Stop him from, er, fronting the footy on, er, ITV. He even, er, hesitates when reading from the, er, autocue!!

[Jomlett]

From the Indy.."The announcement that Sir Bruce is stepping down comes a week after he gave a long and occasionally rambling acceptance speech at the Broadcasting Press Guild awards in front of senior BBC executives."

[ummmm]

Lol Ken :-) My next pick would be Keith Lemmon...

[Ken4155]

^^^

I don't think Keith Lemon would be able to handle all that flesh on view - he'd internally combust:-)

[Baldric]

I hope it's not due to ill-health and it's just that he's realised what most of the rest of us have known for years,
"You just aren't entertaining anymore mate!"

Surely it should be Des Oconnor.

[pugthedog]

bruce forsyth leaving strictly hooray

[weecalf]

what about the panel could they not go with him? Sound like a car body work worker panel beater .Boom Boom

[hc4361]

It won't be Anton - he blotted his copy book with the P remark a few series ago. Shows he can't be trusted to think before he speaks which is essential on a live show.

Des O'Connor is 82 and hasn't fronted a series for 6 years, not sure he wants to needs to work

[campbellking]

Des O'Connor would be even worse than Brucie. Please,please not John Barrowman - I vote for Tess and Claudia

[tonyav]

The reason I suggested Des Oconnor, I was thinking of continuity, him being in the same age group as Bruce ;-)

[ladybirder]

Oooh not Tessa please, she looks like a man in drag.

[DTCwordfan]

Cilla Black? (see jokes)

[pixie373]

Yes, dermot o'leary. He has a nice p-taking style. And is under 104.
