Bruce Forsyth showed off his Strictly Come Dancing moves to the sounds of the Gipsy Kings at the opening night of Zorro the Musical at the Garrick Theatre in the West End.

The sprightly 80-year-old and his wife, former Miss World Wilnelia Merced, 48, shimmied on the dancefloor at the after-show party at Floridita in Soho.

Then, perhaps overcome by the Latin music, he donned the Zorro mask.

Bruce showed he was as light on his feet as ever, as he twirled on the dancefloor with his younger wife. 

Last month, Bruce showed he's still hip with the bright young things of London, as he compered a charity event which saw Gwyneth Paltrow take part in a karaoke session.

Earlier this year, he was awarded a Fellowship at the TV Bafta awards. But he has yet to be included in the honours list for a knighthood.
