Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman to front this weekend's show.

The BBC announced this morning on its Strictly Come Dancing twitter page that Bruce Forsyth will not be presenting the show on Saturday 13 November due to a bout of flu.

Here are the tweets:

bbcstrictly BREAKING NEWS... Due to a bout of the flu and on doctor's orders, Bruce will be unable to host Strictly Come Dancing this Saturday... #scd

bbcstrictly BREAKING NEWS... However, Tess Daly will be stepping into Bruce's presenting shoes. Strictly Come Dancing, Saturday, 6.50pm #scd

Let’s hope Brucie gets well soon.

On Friday's It Takes Two show Claudia Winkleman annoucned she would also be involved in the show.

She said: "Tess wil be front of house with the judges and I'm going to be helping out."

She then read out a message from Bruce: "To Tess and Claudia, wishing you the very best for tomorrow night. Sorry I can't be there but the show could not be in better or prettier hands. You deserve one another. Lots of love, Bruce."

	pat62 llllllllllwrote: I and many others (those that are not motivated by posting a blog to have a dig!) would not watch the show without him. He knows the jokes are bad thats the point. He knows we know that he's reading from an autocue, its all part of his charm. He's worth watching for the faces he pulls alone, the show would never have been as succesful without him thats for sure. The guy is in his eighties and off with flu, misses one show and has to listen to people saying "dont come back" Real shame. 16 Nov.
	rodwrote: Now that Forsyth was out of the show on Saturday, maybe the BBC will see sense and get rid of him, his so called jokes and so called one liners are the pits.. I always end up in stitches with them, NOT!!!!! Hope they keep TESS and CLAUDIA they were Brilliant................ 15 Nov.
	Jellowrote: Not a fan of Brucie at all, but hope he gets better soon. Soooo glad they kept it in the Strictly family. Really excited about Tess and Claudia tonight - could be frocks at dawn!! Can't wait for Claudia's bonkers one liners. May have the treat of watching it in real time now that there's no Brucie to fast foward ... YIPPEE!! 14 Nov.

	Paulwrote: Disagree. Wouldn't be the smae without him. Get well soon Bruce! 13 Nov.
	davidwrote: Am I alone in thinking that he is well past his sell by date? He has always been full of his own importance and can't read an autocue for the life of him. He even put down Norman Wisdom all those years ago when they did a Sunday Night at the London Palladium on their own because of a strike. 13 Nov.
