Sir Bruce Forsyth's widow Wilnelia shows off her incredible dance skills after ruling out Strictly Come Dancing while her star husband was alive

Sir Bruce Forsyth 's widow, Wilnelia, showed off her incredible dance skills in an Instagram video on Tuesday.

The former Miss World star previously ruled out competing on Strictly Come Dancing while her husband was alive, explaining: 'I don't think my husband would have taken the criticism of the judges very well.'

However recently, Wilnelia has been showing she could be a strong contender for the glitterball trophy seven years after Bruce's death in 2017.

In a video recorded at her 67th birthday celebrations this week in her native Puerto Rico, the beauty can be seen showing off her best moves.

Wilnelia, who inherited almost all of Sir Bruce's £11.5million fortune, looked incredible in a black mini dress as she took to the dancefloor.

Captioning the Instagram post, which has been translated to English, she said: 'My dear brother Enrique and Marisol surprised me Saturday night with a wonderful birthday cake. It really was a celebration of our takeoff to the launch of our first golf tournament.

'To be held February 27, 2025 at the East Golf Course in Dorado Beach to benefit Delia's Respite For Caregivers for Alzheimer's caregivers. Thank you for the support.'

Fans gushed over the post, with one user saying: 'Looks like you had a great Birthday! Think you'd definitely Win Strictly Winnie!'

Wilnelia and Bruce lived together in Surrey after she was first introduced to him at the 1980 Miss World competition gala in London.

She retired from modelling following her marriage to the Strictly host in 1983 but remained the only Puerto Rican to win Miss World until 2016.

Her husband sadly passed away in August 2017, aged 89 at his home, while surrounded by his family, after a battle with bronchial pneumonia.

A year after his death, she revealed that nothing had been moved at their home since he left; the books, ornaments and family photographs were left exactly where they were.

Wilnelia spoke candidly about her husband's death in a candid interview with The Mail On Sunday in 2018, where she revealed she still talks to him everyday.

She said: 'Sometimes it feels like yesterday. I can't believe it's been a year.

'I was in London the other day and rushing, thinking I had to get home. But then I realised, what's the point?

'I try to be strong for the family, but if I told you it's been easy I'd be lying. I miss Bruce every single day. He was my mentor in a way.

'He had so much knowledge about everything and was such an easy person to talk to. I could speak to him about absolutely everything.

'I talk to him all the time anyway, but I miss sharing all the good news in the world, and the bad.'

Also in 2018, lady Wilnelia spoke of her joy at marrying the iconic entertainer.

During an appearance on ITV's This Morning she passionately admitted: 'I was so lucky to be married to him for 34 years. It was a very happy marriage.'

She said she is thankful that she was able to make some special memories with Bruce before he passed away.

'He retired from Strictly, and he didn't manage to do the last show; the Christmas show,' she said.

'He was planning to do some travelling and continuing and being in showbiz somehow. He wanted to be with his family.'

Bruce had kids Debbie, Julie and Laura from his 20-year marriage to first wife Penny Calvert; Charlotte and Louisa from his second marriage to Anthea Redfern, and Jonathan Joseph 'JJ' Forsyth-Johnson from his third marriage to Wilnelia.
