Strictly Come Dancing: Bruce Forsyth gets pay cut
Strictly Come Dancing presenter Bruce Forsyth has admitted that he took a pay cut for this years series and revealed that he backs a general cap on talent’s salaries.
In an interview with the BBC’s Newsnight, the star said: “It’s a good thing to cap the salaries and I think it should have probably been done a long time ago.”
The 81-year-old told the programme that he had accepted his new salary with “goodwill because these are very, very hard times”.

Well I’m sure we all love Brucie for acting so sensibly, but in all honesty half the nation thinks its time he retired and another half feel that even with capped pay levels for presenters and television personnel, that they are still being over paid. Also the fact that one or two individuals are accepting a pay cut does not mean that televisions other executives are agreeing to a cut in bonuses, shares or pay. In actual fact some have been given an increase.
Maybe what is needed to ensure fairness all round is a watchdog on the television company salaries division to ensure that when capping is taking place it does so across the board.
Did wiggy take a pay cut when he left the B.B.C. many years ago to join I.T.V.- the big payers?
Did he refuse a Brucie Bonus?
Yet another celeb(with some talent granted)who talks trash. Anything to be loved by the blinkered stupid public.Yeah!Right on Brucie!
