Poor old Brucie! Grandad Forsyth has revealed that he was very hurt by all the criticism of his performance on this years Strictly Come Dancing series, and its almost like hearing someone giving your favourite grandpa a hard time.

“When you’re 80 you don’t have many plans for the future. So we’ll have to see what happens,” he told the Daily Star Sunday.

“This series has been particularly hard, especially with all the criticism I’ve had to face. If I make a mistake I’m labelled as being doddery and not up to it.

“I had to pace myself. I had to rest a lot and made sure I lay in bed a long time. It was the only way I got through it. I spoke to my doctor as I got quite ill towards the end and he reckoned the reason I was still able to carry on was all to do with my adrenalin.”

Personally I think the BBC should leave Bruce where he is and get rid of the hugely annoying and strange eyed Tess Daly. That one really has a face for radio!
