Recent tabloid reports have speculated that the 80-year-old TV star will soon quit the BBC One ballroom show after being branded 'doddery' in the press, though the rumours have been denied.
"I actually think it's very disrespectful to talk a man out of a job that he is good at, that he loves," Daly told the Daily Mail. "Let's not forget that Bruce has been in the entertainment business for more than six decades. He is a legend in his own right, and there should be respect for that.
"These people who say otherwise, well, let's look at their CVs compared to his and see who comes out on top."
Daly also confirmed that she likes to take control on the show because Forsyth prefers not to wear an earpiece as he presents.
"You have to stick to your schedule, come hell or high water, and that sort of direction comes from the gallery," she explained. "I'm the one who wears the earpiece - so they all yell at me, then I have to chivvy Bruce along."
Strictly Come Dancing continues at 6.05pm tonight on BBC One.
