tv3 : reported that Sir Bruce Forsyth has spent five days in intensive care

The former Strictly presenter has reportedly spent the last five days in intensive care after being diagnosed with a severe chest infection - but is now preparing to come home. Of course, because he is nearly 90, doctors had to take extra precautions and Bruce had to stay in intensive care for a minimum of five nights. "I happened to be with my son Jonathan (when Bruce fell), it was very scary to see him like that, he was very bruised, it was really, really awful," she said. "It was really a worry, so we decided to go to for the operation and he's been recovering since then." Health concerns about the 89-year-old television veteran have intensified following the news that he was rushed to hospital on Sunday.
