Bruce Forsyth has been drawn into the row over the use of racist language in rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing.

The host of the show said people should get a sense of humour and accept Anton du Beke's apology to his dance partner, who is of Moroccan descent.

However the presenter added that the use of racially offensive language was never funny or acceptable.
