Rest Up, Sir Bruce

Sir Bruce Forsyth is recuperating at home, following keyhole surgery last week.

He had a procedure on an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which was successful, and Sir Bruce is expected to make a full recovery in time for the Strictly Christmas special, which is being recorded on 7th December.

His manager told TV3: ''The procedure was a complete success and while Sir Bruce needs to rest and recuperate, it is anticipated, given the minimally invasive nature of this operation, he will make a speedy recovery.''

Rest up, Sir Bruce. The Christmas special is the highlight of Christmas day for me.
