One has to be a little concerned given how frail he has been off late. Brucie has been one of those TV constants throughout my childhood and adult life. Although stepping down from Strictly did seem to mark the end of his career.

Sir Bruce Forsyth is due to return home later after spending five nights in intensive care following a severe chest infection.

The 89-year-old's manager said he had been in St Peter's Hospital in Surrey since Sunday.

"Sir Bruce Forsyth is scheduled to return home from hospital later today and would like to thank everyone for their good wishes," Ian Wilson said.

He added the entertainer thanked hospital staff for their care.

"[Sir Bruce] and his family would also like to say a special thank you to all the NHS doctors, nurses and staff at St Peter's Hospital for their kindness and care."

In 2015, the presenter underwent keyhole surgery after suffering two aneurysms, which were discovered when tests were carried out following a fall at his Surrey home.

Sir Bruce left Strictly Come Dancing in 2014, having presented it since the first series, but his manager denied reports last October that he had retired from the entertainment industry.
