...but Brucie MUST go! Did you see him in Len's Lens? What was he so grumpy when the elated Ben went over to kiss Craig?

He's a nasty, nasty piece of work!

I am glad you've said it. I've never been a fan of his and think its about time he gave someone else the chance to present. I wouldn't mind Tess and Claudia presenting.

This is the first year that I am enraged by him. He should really go. I used to find him as an oddity and "national treasure" kind of thing endearing. But now, just appears to be an out of sync, bitter, and weird old man that brings down a bit the general happy atmosphere.

But the only thing I can think of was that it was out of his 'control' and he's all me me me, and if the attention appeared to be something that's not within his 'remit', he throws a hissy fit. Odious man!

He really is homophobic for someone in the entertainment industry. He wasn't very impressed with Ben touching him at the time either. He really is incredibly loathesome.

Agree, my other half has to walk out of the room when he comes on.

He only seems happy when he is labouring one of his poorly scripted jokes. It's ok for him to waste time endlessly but apparently not for Ben to show his appreciation.

He clearly wasn't grumpy... It was all a joke. I still love Brucie.

He is so up himself! I cannot believe how he treats everyone in such a patronising way, and worst of all, he tries to re-affirm the judges appraisals.........like he knows anything about ballroom dancing....yeah right!

He really was, he was incredibly rude when Ben tried to hug him.

Ah, but was it a faux grumpy face? I'm no fan of his, but this could be the case.

May be I'm another planet, or from one, but I thought it was an act on Bruce's part.

I agree! The show would be so much better without him (as was shown last week!)

I would also be tempted to get rid of Tess, unless she learns how to pronounce Ola's name correctly.

Yeah, he came across really homophobic in his interaction with Ben after the dance. You can say it was schtick but his face after watching Ben give Craig a kiss cemented that it's not a schtick.

Does he not know Ben is a gay icon and marriage equality activist?

Its a fact that his rudeness is an act. He used to pretend to be annoyed on the Generation Game etc.
Only problem is with his age the comic timing has gone, making him seem nasty.

That is part of his act, if something occurs, he tends to do that for a laugh. The shocked and what's going on act.


There are a number of people here who know it's his act and also we have seen this from the generation game and play your cards right.

I am unsure why do few get do worked up about one person?

So how do you explain him being so rude to Ben a few seconds earlier saying something like "what are you doing? Don't TOUCH ME" I can't remember the exact words, but he definitely was not trying to be funny or doing a schtick.

I thought he was fine this week.

He was chuckling along at the Judges' and the guests' jokes.

He was congratulating all the dancers and pointing out the standing ovations they received.

His jokes are still laboured and painful at times, but to label him a "nasty, nasty piece of work" clearly crosses the line from a casual annoyance to an irrational grudge.

I suggest next week, as the show begins, you just take a deep breath, count to 10, maybe have a stiff drink to steady your nerves, and... just relax.

Let all your annoyances about Brucie just wash over you, and enjoy the show.

He really doesn't like Julien.

Please Brucie has not once shown any such thing towards any of the gay contestants or judges. I think he was just trying to be funny.

I thought Bruce was the same as he always was, but I haven't seen the results show yet. Must keep an eye out for Lens Lens.

Of course he was.
In which case he needs to stop. Now he just looks bad tempered and out of step.
