Sir Bruce Forsyth has passed away.
His family announced the news in the past few minutes.
The entertainer's career spanned more than 70 years and was presented many programmes such as The Price Is Right and Strictly Come Dancing.
His manager has released a statement saying
"It is with great sadness that the Forsyth family announce that Sir Bruce passed away this afternoon, peacefully at his home surrounded by his wife Wilnelia and all his children.
"A couple of weeks ago, a friend visited him and asked him what he had been doing these last eighteen months.
"With a twinkle in his eye, he responded "I've been very, very busy... being ill!" Unfortunately, not long after this, his health deteriorated and he contracted bronchial pneumonia."
Tributes have been pouring in online for the star.
