Bruce Forsyth wants Ronnie Corbett to replace him on Strictly Come Dancing if he decides to quit the show, say reports.

Forsyth has mentioned the veteran comedian's name to the show's producers, according to the Daily Star.

"Bruce wants to leave the show in safe hands and he is quite bullish about the fact that he wants a veteran household name to take his place," said a source.

"He’s already mentioned Ronnie to producers."

However, there are reportedly concerns overs Corbett's height difference with co-host Tess Daly.

A show source commented: "Can you imagine how it’ll look? He’s so small he’d only come up to her boobs. It’d be like Little and Large."

Forsyth has hosted the show for five series and is rumoured to be considering leaving the show while it remains a ratings success.
