So I’m watching Strictly Come Dancing tonight and as if Bruce’s jokes aren’t bad enough, Tess Daly’s wonky eye and unbalanced boobs freaked me out big time. It doesn’t help that she can’t actually present live TV shows, with any semblance of flair.

Strictly Come Dancing host, Tess Daly, has defended her co-presenter Bruce Forsyth against people who have been calling him doddery and trying to get him off the show.
“I actually think it’s very disrespectful to talk a man out of a job that he is good at, that he loves,” Daly told the Daily Mail. “Let’s not forget that Bruce has been in the entertainment business for more than six decades. He is a legend in his own right, and there should be respect for that.
“These people who say otherwise, well, let’s look at their CVs compared to his and see who comes out on top.”

Strictly Come Dancing host, Terss Daly, had some words of praise for former Spice Girl Emma Bunton and also her co-host Brucedy Bruce Forsythe.
“Emma Bunton is the sweetest girl,” Tess told Celebs on Sunday. “She’s going to look gorgeous in her frocks. During her Spice Girls days there was an awful lot of finger-pointing but no footwork. Time will tell if she can dance but she’s definitely going to look the part.”
She added: “I genuinely adore Bruce. He doesn’t make it feel like work. He has so much energy too. How many TV presenters do you know who are Bruce’s age and still have a spring in their step? He keeps up with most 20-year-olds and doesn’t break into a sweat.”
