Bruce Forsyth has been dramatically axed from Strictly Come Dancing after BBC bosses decided that a new low cost replacement would save them his £30 million a year salary. Sir Menzies Campbell will join the show this week and says he’s delighted to be asked to fill Bruce’s shoes.

‘I’ve been known to snap my sock garters for the ladies at the cha-cha-cha, don’t you know?’ he said while posing for publicity shots in central London. He also promises that there will be plenty of opportunities for his Liberal Democrat colleagues to join him on the show. Said a clearly confused Ming: ‘We’re still a united party and I hope we’ll be able to get them all together and give us a good old fashioned hokey cokey, with both the left-legged side of the party uniting with the right-legged side, as we proceed to shake it all about at our eventual election victory celebrations.’
