The BBC has announced that veteran British television host and legendary entertainer Sir Bruce Forsyth has died, aged 89.
Forsyth, one of Britain’s best-known gameshow hosts, fronted television shows including Play Your Cards Right, The Price is Right and The Generation Game, which at its peak attracted 20 million viewers.
Dapper and mustachioed, with a toothy smile and cheeky charm, he was a television presence for 75 years, earning him recognition by Guinness World Records in 2012 for having had the longest on-screen television career for a male entertainer.
Most recently he presented the popular dance competition Strictly Come Dancing for 10 years until 2014. He was known for such crowd-pleasing catchphrases as “Nice to see you, to see you nice” and “Give us a whirl!”
