He was born in London in 1944. His website says he started dancing when he was 19 years old and was a professional dancer before he went into TV.Goodman was the head judge on the British version of Dancing With The Stars, BBC’s “Strictly Come Dancing,” from the show’s start in 2004 until its last episode on Christmas Day 2016. Instead, Shirley Ballas filled in for him after he left.
Davie also said, “He was liked by people of all ages and made everyone feel like he was part of their family.” Len was the main reason why Strictly was so popular. The public, his many friends and family, and himself will all miss him very much.
