Veteran UK TV host Bruce Forsyth is recovering at home after being admitted to hospital suffering from concussion he picked up during a fall.
The 87-year-old's injuries mean that he has had to pull out of hosting his planned variety show Bruce's Hall of Fame. Pointless presenter Alexander Armstrong will handle the compere role in Forsyth's absence.
The company behind the show, said: "This morning, Sir Bruce Forsyth slipped and fell at his home resulting in facial abrasions and minor concussion.
"He attended hospital and had a series of scans and tests all of which happily proved negative.
"However, because of his injury, he has been told by doctors he must have complete rest for at least seven days."
It was recently announced that Forsyth would be returning to Strictly Come Dancing for the show's Christmas special.
