Bruce Forsyth returns to Strictly after bout of flu

Show's presenter is now in good health

Bruce Forsyth watched Strictly Come Dancing from his sickbed last week

Bruce Forsyth will be back on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday. 

The presenter, 81, missed last weekend's show because he had the flu.

But a BBC spokesman confirms Bruce has now recovered.

Claudia Winkleman and comedian Ronnie Corbett stepped in for him last week.

They joined co-host Tess Daly to front the programme.

It was the first time Bruce had been absent since Strictly began in 2004.
