SIR Bruce Forsyth said his decision to quit Strictly Come Dancing was partly down to how tired it made him feel.

The TV veteran, who announced this month he is stepping down as presenter of the hit BBC1 series after a decade fronting the show, said he got "tired doing live telly".

Sir Bruce, 86, said: "It's better for me physically, I'll be able to spend more time with my wife and my family."
