Bruce On Anton

Bruce Forsyth has defended Anton's recent comment to Laila, claiming that the quick-witted slip up from time to time.

The Guardian report that Bruce said on TalkSport: "OK, [Anton] can be a bit mouthy and can say quick things off-the-cuff like I do. If someone says something to me then I'm straight back. Quick reflex of the tongue is what we've got. But when you're like that you can slip up every now and again. You can say something that you don't mean. But I'm sure there was nothing vindictive about what he said and [Anton's apology] should be accepted and the page should be closed on it. It's a damn shame and I feel for him and Laila, she's a lovely girl."
