Sir Bruce Forsyth announced back in September that he would be taking the week before Wembley off from the hit BBC dancing talent show, leaving co-host Tess Daly to fill his legendary dancing shoes as show host.

Simon Cowell may be doing his best to beat them in the ratings but Tess Daly has revealed that the music mogul is actually a big fan of Strictly Come Dancing.
Cowell is the man behind ITV’s X Factor, which goes head to head with the BBC dance show each weekend.
