It’s been almost a week since the beloved Bruce Forsyth passed away.
The TV presenter and entertainer was 89-years-old when he died in his home on Friday after suffering a short illness.
Since then, fans and friends have been paying tributes to the BBC star, referencing his kindness, humour, and how down-to-earth Bruce was.
As expected, Strictly Come Dancing producers have announced that they are going to pay their respects to Bruce too.
And what they’ve got planned sounds just lovely.
In a tweet posted by the Strictly Twitter page, executive producer Louise Rainbow said that the show wants to honour Bruce in the “best way possible. Through his love of dancing.”

The post reads:
“The thoughts of everyone here are still very much with Sir Bruce’s family.
Of course, we will be paying tribute to Sir Bruce at our launch show and this will include a heartfelt performance from our Strictly professional dancers.
We all want to celebrate him and all that he loved about the show. Sir Bruce was, and will always be, a huge part of Strictly Come Dancing.”
This tribute will take place on Strictly‘s launch show, which is set to be sometime towards the end of September.
While we don’t have a start date, we do have the full line-up of celebs will be taking to the dancefloor this year.
