Jimmy Tarbuck: Sir Bruce "walking again" after health scare
The 89-year-old has shied away from the spotlight after being diagnosed with two life-threatening aneurysms in 2015.
While his family have previously spoken of his recovery, his close friend Jimmy Tarbuck has now opened up about his health.
Speaking on stage in Blackpool recently, the 77-year-old reassured fans of the former Strictly Come Dancing star that he is on "good form".
"He's okay, but he's a bit frail. He's had an aneurysm," Jimmy explained, according to The Mirror.
"It's very serious. I saw him a week ago," before adding: "He is on good form."
It comes after it was reported that Sir Bruce was "back on his feet" and making a "slow" recovery after being hospitalised with a chest infection in March.
His wife Wilnelia revealed that he was recovering after his horrific health scare, explaining: "He's doing so much better, he's doing really well."
"Slowly, but we are waiting for the really hot weather so we can start taking him out," the 59-year-old added to The Sun. "He's walking around now, slowly but he is."
Meanwhile, his former co-host Tess Daly said she was determined to visit him, noting: "I spoke to his wife recently and we are hoping to arrange a visit. I've not seen him for a while as he has not been well.
"I've never met anyone in their 80s who was that physically fit and mentally present. I've never heard Brucie complain of a single ailment."
