In 1983, aged just 24, Wilnelia Merced married one of Britain's most loved celebrity entertainers.
Celebrating the 68th year of his showbiz career, Wilnelia wanted to unveil the secrets of their long and highly unusual marriage, and Cutting Edge has been given unprecedented access in this intimate and revealing account of day-to-day life with national treasure Bruce Forsyth.
The programme follows the couple on holiday in Puerto Rico and at home in their luxury mansion on the Wentworth Golf Course in Surrey. They are joined during a critical time as Bruce seems poised to put pen to paper on what might be one of his last big showbiz contracts: the presenter role on Series 8 of Strictly Come Dancing.
Wilnelia has loved and supported him for almost three decades and has seen the best of Bruce, both on and off stage. At this point in his life, what still drives this 82-year-old TV legend to continue working and spend time away from his beloved Winnie?
Exploring areas of Bruce and Wilnelia's life that have never previously been known, this film aims to gain insight into this couple, the love that has kept them together for so long and what life is like when the star steps out of the spotlight and into reality.
