Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left emotional after judge Anton Du Beke mentioned the Len Goodman.
Anton and Len were well known to be good friends right up until his death in April of this year following a battle with prostate cancer. He hosted the first ever episode of Strictly in 2004 and sat on the panel for over a decade, where he became well-known for his signature 'seven' scores. Many viewers greatly appreciated the nod to Len, with one viewer writing on X, formerly Twitter: "Thank you Anton for bringing up Len, all Strictly fans miss Len. I really wish like Dancing with the Stars, they'd rename it the Len Goodman trophy."
