The magic of Bruce Forsyth is to come to Torquay's Riviera International Centre in the shadow of his nephew, Paul Pickett.

Paul, who runs With a Difference Entertainments, is to offer children's parties from the Centre and Bruce is all set to offer help and advice.

Paul explained: "Bruce has always been very supportive towards me. He's busy filming Strictly Come Dancing at the moment and shortly I will be going to visit him filming the TV show and spend the weekend at his house."

Paul added: "The parties will add another dimension to the 'Dip 'n Dine' packages the Centre already offers with various packages available for different ages."

The parties will include traditional party dances, face painting and disco dancing. And as well as the new parties at the Centre, With a Difference Entertainments has also sponsored the new uniform for all the swimming teachers.

More than 200 children currently take regular lessons in Waves Leisure Pool and Paul, who has been teaching swimming at the pool since the beginning of the year had no hesitation in sponsoring the new look.

He said: "It's a great synergy with my business which is geared around offering a variety of entertainment to both children and adults alike. The new uniforms have already received many favourable comments."

Tanya Brimicombe, Waves Leisure Pool Manager, added: "I am really pleased to have With a Difference Entertainments on board as the new sponsors of our swimming teachers' uniform. Coupled with the introduction of children's parties here at the centre, I am sure it is the start of a very good working relationship."
