Britain's best-paid TV star, Bruce Forsyth, dies after illness

Sir Bruce Forsyth, a hugely loved name on British TV having hosted numerous shows in a career spanning eight decades, most recently Strictly Come Dancing, has died. He was 89. The family of the star, who had been unwell for some time and was hospitalised earlier this year with a chest infection, announced the news of his death on Friday. Having started his career in showbusiness aged just 14 on stage in his local theater, Forsyth – a multi-talented performer who could sing and dance – went on to become synonymous with TV game shows in 1960s, 70s and 80s, hosting the likes of The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and The Price is Right, once being the most highly paid entertainer in the U.K.
