Bruce Forsyth 'signs new Strictly Come Dancing contract'

 Sir Bruce Forsyth is set to return to Strictly Come Dancing next year.

The legendary TV host - who has co-hosted the BBC One show alongside Tess Daly since 2004 - is said to be keen to front the next series of the celebrity dance competition, despite being 84 by the time it airs in 2012.

A source told The Sun: "Bruce has had a great series and Strictly is his as long as he wants it. He's having a break then will come back to us with his thoughts on next year's show. We are working on the assumption he'll be back."

Insiders claim Bruce has been given a new lease of life after he was handed a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth earlier this year.

Although he is keen to return to the show for another season, Bruce recently revealed he has "never felt comfortable" presenting 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

He said: "It's been incredible. I'm loving it. I've liked it more in the last two or three years than before. It's a show I've never felt comfortable doing because I'm used to an audience being right there so I can pick on them, I've got contact.

"But in that studio the only contact I've got is the camera. The audience is behind me and I don't know what they're doing, probably having picnics."

Tinchy Stryder signs up for Celebrity Big Brother

The 'Never Leave You' singer was approached by show bosses - who are desperate for a British rapper to take part - after Chipmunk turned down an offer, The Sun reports.

While the line-up for the show - which returns to Channel 5 in early January - has not yet been confirmed, several stars have been linked with an appearance, including troubled Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan, footballer Ryan Giggs' sister-in-law Natasha Giggs, shamed former 'X-Factor' contestant Frankie Cocozza and comedian Freddie Starr.

Meanwhile, bosses at Channel 5 are bringing back the live feed when the show returns next month.

Although 24 hour feed - which was axed when the show moved from Channel 4 to Channel 5 will not be coming back - show bosses are planning to extend the air time for an extra hour on sister channel 5* whenever there is an eviction, a surprise task or a shock new housemate.

A source said: "Zooming in after they've just had a shock is the best thing to do.

"In the past we've had housemates breaking down in tears if someone they really liked got evicted and we've had bitchy bust-ups with people saying the wrong person went out the door.

We've also had melt-downs if they heard the crowds outside chanting about them."

Jonathan Ross signs new deal to produce two more series of his ITV chatshow!

Not long after being at ITV, are bosses happy for Jonathan Ross to 'extend his chatshow for two series, having signed a reported contract with ITV for £2m !!

The new deal is set to produce two more series of his ITV chatshow!

It was claimed last month that the 51-year-old had been given a second run of The Jonathan Ross Show, but The Sun now reports that the agreement extends to a third series of the programme.

"It was always a gamble for him to reprise his chatshow on another channel," a source said. "He had been synonymous with Friday nights on the BBC, but was replaced by Graham Norton in that slot.

"But he has brought in great guests for ITV and his ratings have been good so it was a no-brainer that he should sign up again."

Ross defected to ITV from the BBC back in July 2010.

He previously defended the multi-million pound salary he received at the corporation, stating: "Sure I was paid a lot of money, but I'm not in a regular job. I'm in showbusiness and I was at the top of my game."
