Sir Bruce Forsyth was hospitalised after a fall in his home on Wednesday.
The 87-year-old said he was “really sad” to cancel his appearance on Bruce’s Hall of Fame after doctors ordered bed rest for a week.
“I was really looking forward to this show and working with such a talented cast, and I am really sad not to be part of it," Sir Bruce said in a statement after the fall.
Pointless presenter Alexander Armstrong will replace him on the variety show as the compere.
Kalooki Pictures, the production company behind the show said in a statement: “This morning, Sir Bruce Forsyth slipped and fell at his home resulting in facial abrasions and minor concussion.
“He attended hospital and had a series of scans and tests, all of which happily proved negative.
“However, because of his injury, he has been told by doctors he must have complete rest for at least seven days.”
