When the original presenter Richard Whiteley died in 2005, Bruce said: " such a nice man - that was the defining quality of him, a genuinely nice man. And he had no real ego."

Bruce holds a Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) driving licence and is the co-owner of a Routemaster (one of London's red buses) with Charles Nove, Alan Dedicoat, Steve Madden and David Sheppard. He has referred to the buses as "a fantastic piece of engineering and such fun to have".
