Bruce Forsyth
Bruce Forsyth is one of the U.K.’s most loved and durable stars and has been in show business for more than sixty years.
It is a career begun very young when, in the middle of World War Two, he left school and aged 14 began performing professionally billed as “Boy Bruce The Might Atom”.
Sixteen years later in 1958, he became an “overnight” star when he was chosen to host “Sunday Night At The London Palladium” and he has remained one of the most influential and popular performers on British television ever since.
On New Years Day 2004, BBC2 devoted an evening to him, including showing an extended version of his hosting “Have I Got News For You”.
He has recently completed presenting “Strictly Come Dancing” on BBC1 which has proved a huge success. The last show in the series generated more than 2.5 million phone calls, achieved a 43% share and raised half a million pounds for Sport Relief! He will present a second series this Autumn.
In 1998, he was awarded the O.B.E. for his services to the entertainment industry.
