Television presenter Bruce Forsyth has revealed that he is close to signing a new deal for 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

The 82-year-old presenter told Radio Times: "I have a couple more meetings, but it's going well."

"I'm not doing a Christine Bleakley. Adrian [Chiles] doesn’t want me to sit on the sofa with her between us. He’d be jealous because I’m quite quick."

He also said: "I took a [pay] cut last year before anyone else. If they want me to this year, I will, but I've never thought about it."

"The BBC won't disclose individual salaries. The last thing you want is people being competitive about them."
