Goodman host 'Dancing With the Stars' from 2005 until he announced his retirement last year.
“Len Goodman was a wonderful, warm entertainer who was adored by millions,” said the BBC director-general Tim Davie. “He appealed to all ages and felt like a member of everyone’s family. Len was at the very heart of Strictly’s success. He will be hugely missed by the public and his many friends and family.”
A statement from his manager, Jackie Gill, on Monday called Goodman : “a much-loved husband, father , and grandfather who will be sorely missed by family, friends, and all who knew him.” Goodman began dancing at 19 and won the British Championships in his late 20s. He went on to become a professional judge and teacher. He was a recipient of the Carl Alan Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to dance and was the founder and owner of the dance shool the Goodman Academy in Dartford, Kent.
