With a little light-hearted banter for the day.
The ghost of the legendary TV host Bruce Forsyth has been haunting the London Palladium with his iconic tagline ‘nice to see you, to see you nice’, a paranormal expert has claimed.
It was in the 1950s, when he was 30 years old, that he got his major break on the ITV series Sunday Night at the London Palladium.
It was in the 70s that his catchphrases became nationally recognised, including ‘Nice to see you, to see you nice’ and ‘Didn’t they do well?’.
Paranormal expert Brocarde has claimed she knew Sir Bruce was ‘watching over’ when she heard his ‘unmistakable’ saying while interviewing magicians Penn Jillette and Piff the Magic Dragon.
She said, ‘I kept getting distracted by the words “nice to see you”.’
‘At first, I dismissed it. Then came the unmistakable second half, ‘to see you nice!’, followed by mischievous laughter.
‘That’s when I knew Sir Bruce was in the room. I felt like he was watching over the interview.
‘I even heard him mention a fire extinguisher, which was hilarious considering all the fire puns flying around during the chat.
‘He definitely knew I was speaking with ‘magic dragons’.’
The London Palladium held great significance for the performer, who performed with Sammy Davis Jr. and earned his claim to fame there.
His ashes were even buried under the stage, where he ended his career as host of Strictly in 2014.
The venue is said to have had a ‘special place in Bruce’s heart’ and his family considered the move as a ‘perfect tribute’.
Despite the heavy schedule, he admitted that he cherished his days playing at the London Palladium.
He said, ‘We did 40 weeks a year with 40 different top-of-the-bill acts. Where could you even find 40 different top-of-the-bills these days…apart from me!’
Brocarde, 42, from Oxfordshire, became notorious for her ‘marriage’ to a Victorian ghost.
She insists she met soldier Edwardo after the ghoul ‘burst’ into her bedroom one night during a storm, but after their ‘wedding’ on Halloween 2022, things went downhill.
She added, ‘He grew increasingly more aggressive and nasty and began to haunt me with the sound of a screaming baby,’ she said.
According to Brocarde, she eventually divorced him through an exorcism.
To be honest, I’m not sure who is more foolish, the woman for telling her tale, the newspaper that published it, or me for reading it! However, people do read articles like these, and publishers pay good money for publishing.
I guess we all believe in something because we need to believe that there is something after this life, but Brocarde married a ghost, and we are here giving her coverage.
I kind of wanted to believe her, but then I read that she married a ghost and all her credibility went out of the window, along with the ghost! Perhaps it was just a ‘Brucie bonus’. Maybe the mould in the London Palladium is causing similar hallucinations to those of magic mushrooms, but ‘didn’t she do well’
