Sir Bruce Forsyth is stepping down as co-host of the BBC TV series Strictly Come Dancing after a decade presenting the show.

The 86-year-old entertainer said it was the "right time to step down from the rigours" of fronting the popular Saturday night programme.

But the veteran star insists he is not retiring from showbusiness.

He will still work on pre-recorded Strictly shows for Christmas and Children In Need as well as one-off BBC specials, and perform in theatres.

Sir Bruce said: "After 10 wonderful years and 11 series, I believe it is now the right time to step down from the rigours of presenting the Strictly live shows.

"I am very proud of what the show has achieved and confident it will entertain the nation for many years to come. I am also delighted that by presenting the Christmas and Children In Need shows I will continue to have a strong association with Strictly.

"In addition, I am looking forward to the specials planned with the BBC as well as some live theatre shows, so before anyone asks, I am not retiring quite yet."

BBC1 controller Charlotte Moore said: "Sir Bruce Forsyth is one of the great showbiz legends of our time and Strictly's success is due in vast amounts to him.

"I am so pleased he will continue to be part of the Strictly family and promise viewers that we haven't seen the last of him on BBC1."
