Wilnelia Forsyth talks about plans to celebrate Bruce’s life
Sir Bruce Forsyth's widow Lady Forsyth has taken a big step, following his death three years ago. The TV legend's widow is no longer living at their marital home.
It was hard to leave a place with so many happy memories for me and my family, but I think they all understand
The Play Your Cards Right favoruite died in August 2017, at the age of 89.
He married the now 62-year-old in 1983 after they met when he was asked to judge the 1980 Miss World competition.

She is said to have secured the sale before the property market went into lockdown.
The report states she got around £5.5 million – £1.5 million more than it was valued two years ago.
Wilnelia commented: "It was hard to leave a place with so many happy memories for me and my family, but I think they all understand.
"It was sometimes sad to be in such a home without Bruce."
Meanwhile, one of her friends continued to the publication: "It was a stroke of luck that Wilnelia managed to sell it before the crisis hit, because the market’s plunged since then.
"The price was impressive because the house was actually not that big, and very dated. It will almost certainly be demolished by its new owners and a mega-mansion built in its place. That’s what happens round here."
They added: "The house was too big for Wilnelia. She also wanted a fresh start. Bruce loomed large wherever she turned."
Express.co.uk has contacted a spokesman for Lady Forsyth for comment.
