Very sad. I think I speak for everyone on TV Forum that his contribution to the television and showbiz industry is something that we won't see matched, if ever again.
Kind, warm, audience driven and a true british entertainer until the very end. RIP
Sad, but not unexpected, news. I guess Strictly will do some sort of tribute to him on the first episode?

Sad News, but on the day after a terrorist attack with mass casualties the news channels should be keeping the coverage in perspective and should really be limited to a mention in the 'also in the next hour' part of the headlines and a short report.
The last of the real old school all-round entertainers. His charisma got away with some of the more cheesier aspects of Bruce's delivery in his final years of his career on Strictly.
I'd dare anyone not to say they've not enjoyed The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right, The Price is Right or Strictly to name his more famous shows he's worked on.
Sky already had a pre-prepared Obit from Lucy Cotter (Katie Spencer is the current Arts/Ents correspondent) on Sky News.
