VETERAN entertainer Bruce Forsyth has died at age 89.

Forsyth is known for many popular and succesful shows including Play Your Cards Right, The Price is Right and more recently Strictly Come Dancing.

He had been unwell for a while and was in hospital earlier this year following a severe chest infection.

In an interview last October, his wife said he was still having "a bit of a problem moving". She said: "He's in incredible shape mentally but he gets very tired."

His career began at the young age of just 14.
