SIR BRUCE FORSYTH’S

wife Wilnelia attended her first public event this week since the former Strictly host, 89, was hospitalised in March, and revealed their thoughts on new Strictly judge Shirley Ballas.

‘We think she’ll be great — she obviously has the experience,’ the former Miss World, 59, told me. ‘Bruce and I haven’t met her, and we’d never even heard of her before. It was a surprise, but sometimes, that can be a good thing. We’ll definitely watch the new series.’
