Len Goodman, the original head judge on Dancing With the Stars in the U.S. and Strictly Come Dancing in the U.K., has died at the age of 78.
She wrote, “From the time we met when I was 10 years old competing in London, to my first time onand feeling at home because of your familiar face and warm embrace. To the many 7’s that turned in to my first ever 10 I received from you. To all the rules I broke on the dance floor that you were stern about but then would see me back stage and tell me you loved it.
“Still hard to fully process but filled with gratitude knowing I had the privilege of working beside this absolute legend,” he wrote. Fellow panelist Tonioli agreed, raving about “the one and only ballroom LEGEND” he worked with for 19 years in a tweet of his own., Inaba, who served by Goodman’s side nearly as long, called him, “A Dancer. A teacher. A refined gentleman. A wonderful storyteller. A special soul. A mentor. A family man. And… A treasured friend.”
