Len Goodman

Len once joked he wanted to settle down with Bruno Tonioli since he was a good cook and ironer.

Len was sixty when he was first asked to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.

Whilst Len was filming Dancing With The Stars in America for seven weeks, he got incredibly homesick, saying, "I was pleased when it was all over."

The lowest score he has ever given on Strictly Come Dancing was to Quentin WIlson for his Cha Cha Cha in series two.

He has judged both the British and the World Championships.

Len specialises in Exhibition dancing, which is similar to ballroom dancing, but involves lifts.

Len once described himself as "the star that never twinkled."

Len only made his way into ballroom dancing after he broke his foot playing football. His doctor suggested either swimming or dancing and he did not know where his nearest swimming pool was so he turned to dancing instead.
