Bruce Misses Show

Bruce Forsyth will not be presenting tomorrow night's live show, as he has the flu.

BBC News reports that he is under doctor's orders to rest up.

A BBC spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, due to a bout of the flu and on doctor's orders, Bruce will be unable to host Strictly Come Dancing this Saturday. However, Tess Daly will be stepping into his presenting shoes."

There has been no announcement on who will cover Tess' backstage bits. The natural choice would be Natasha Kaplinsky as she has done it before, but I doubt very much that her Five contract would allow it.

Another option would be Claudia Winkleman, as she is used to live telly, and the participants are already at ease and familiar with her.

Or would they prefer to get a man in? Bill Tunrbull would be fab, and again is used to live TV.

Tune in tomorrow to find out.

    They announced at the same time Tess will be front of house and Claudia will be backstage doing Tess' bit.
    Looking forward to it.
