Sir Bruce Forsyth has left all of his £17million estate to his wife to avoid it being gobbled up by the taxman, according to a friend.
No inheritance tax is due when a fortune is passed to a spouse or civil partner instead of children.
Once the fortune is transferred, Sir Bruce's third wife former Miss World Wilnelia can then give up to £650,000 to each of his relatives tax free.
