A tribute to Len Goodman - BBC Strictly 2023 

Anton's really chocked up here. That's genuine.

A definite 10 for Len. He and Brucie were the faces of Strictly in my eyes and it's hard to express how much Len will be missed.

He was a delight to watch on Dancing with the Stars as well. Thank you for that tribute, from US to GB. We all loved him.

I miss you Len Goodman you were a real gentleman and a sweetheart I love you Xxx

in loving memory of len goodman 1944-2023😇🙏

Him and Bruce were a power duo

Craig's words showed he is heartbroken. He may have been his sparring partner but he was his dear friend.. Thought they would have got Bruno to say a few words , beautiful tribute none the less.

I had the honour of watching the Strictly professionals on tour perform a tribute to the great Len Goodman! They danced to ‘You’re The Voice’ by John Farnham, and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! That was a beautiful tribute! Len was one of the reasons why Strictly is so good! R.I.P legend 💔

Thank you, Strictly, for sharing Len with Dancing W/ the Stars! 😌🕊

RIP LEN!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of Len's many quotable things was "Success comes in cans, not can'ts" and I think that's a great thing to live by

Aweee CRaig!!!! ❤❤❤ RIP Len Goodman

Such a Beautiful man. We Miss you all ❤❤

SEVEEEEEEEENNNNNN, Rest in peace len, I will always remember the number 7 in such a unique way that you said it in

len we miss you we all do i will never um forget all those laughs you gave to me and i will never forget you

I watched him for 20 seasons on DWTS. I grew up watching him and his kindness to others! I bet Len will continue to watch Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars in heaven. Maybe heaven is doing their own version of the show with Sir Bruce Forsyth as host and Len as the head judge.

Miss you bud ❤

R.I.P to the Legend that was Len Goodman, you will be Loveling missed by everyone, he may have always said a 7 but he will aways and forever will be a 10.

Emotional and moving to watch. RIP Len 1944-2023 😢🕊

God bless you Len miss you

I have Len on a few of my DVDs, so he lives on those. My favourite SCD Judge of all. "All aboard the Strictly Express. Well you better get back there and start shovelling the glitter!" Strictly Express Launch Show 2016. We can always watch that happily. You're in our hearts, Len. No-one could possibly match the Good-man you are and always will be.

That nearly brought this hard man to tears.

I love seeing the tributes to him on Strictly and DWTS, both wonderfully done

It's a 10 for Len. He will be missed.

Rip you fine man x 😊😢

i miss you Len and RIP

R.I.P. Len True legend

In Memory of Len Goodman (1944 - 2023) A Len a Ten!!!

I loved it cause I love the one lines seveen & pickle my walnuts I will miss that 😢

Love len goodman, a beautiful tribute, may he rest in piece.

As a viewer since the start, its a real shame we have lost Len. RIP. Sorely missed. He really was a personality.

What a legend of dance & a lovely gent ❤ R.I.P Len xx

Len Goodman the perfect gentleman. RIP 😢Len Goodman

He was a real character and addedmthe fun element to the show. R.I.P.

That was a beautiful tribute! Len Goodman was one reasons why Strictly is so good R.I.P Len Goodman

He was my first ever judge, and told me off because my bum always stuck out🤭😂 I was only four, and I met him many times and he never failed to make me giggle. He was a lovely man and a great judge ❤

I will miss him God speed len

Aww. I loved Len, he was such a gentleman, he was very funny about everything and he can light up a room, he’s warm-hearted. You can see Craig and Anton are heartbroken bless them. I’m on the same page, I do miss him as well. He was a very sweet man. He’s one of the reasons Strictly’s still happening. R.I.P you legend 😭❤️

So thrilled that Len was loved here in the UK and across the pond on Dancing With The Stars. A true character and legend of the dancefloor. What a life Len Goodman had! ❤ sending love to Len's family and friends ❤

Dedicated To Len Goodman Forever In Our Hearts ❤️ Always In Our Inspiration

Rest in peace len goodman I will miss you very much your such a lovely man 😭

After Paying Tribute to Len Goodman for which his name is now The Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy and The Len Goodman Studio both in UK and Hollywood.....

An absolutely gentleman, such a loss! RIP Len, his legacy carries on in strictly forever, I was hoping for a longer tribute and a lovely Ballroom group dance like they did for Bruce but im glad they gave him a tribute

❤❤❤❤

I liked Len. He was a great judge on Strictly. He was fun, fair, gentlemanly, honest, cool and inspiring. I was sad when he left the panel and now, he's gone, I miss him.

Rest in peace true legend

Another line I remember is "I'm a cup of tea in a world of lattes"! What a beautiful lyric: "I'll only miss him when I think of him, but I'll think of him every day."

What an absolute beautiful tribute to Len such a wonderful man ❤

Len will be sadly missed by all who knew him Rest in peace Len Goodman 1944-2023

For me, the show's never been the same since Len left. And I mean that in both senses of the word now he's sadly no longer with us. He was such a magnetic personality and seemed like a genuinely top bloke.

I only know Len from the tele but 30 years ago I used to do youth theatre with Len's son James (who was a great actor, a good singer and a passable dancer). And given the charming person James was you know Len was a good dad. Rest Peacefully Len.

Len and Bruce Forsythe made strictly what it is to this day. They both will be missed

RIP to you Len this guy from the United States will miss you going forward 😭🙌🕯️💚

A beautiful tribute to an iconic and irreplaceable figure of Strictly and Dancing with the Stars ❤. He had just retired from DWTS last year and they gave some lovely tributes to him on his last shows, the ones they will inevitably do on the upcoming series I will be a mess. Sweet fun fact: Shirley’s son, Mark Ballas, has been a pro on DWTS and last year, on Len’s final DWTS series, he won with his celebrity partner!

Rest in peace Len Goodman ❤

I am so grateful to have met our len in person. Thank you len for encouraging us all to dance 💃 and not give up. We will always miss you len but we know you are right here with us in spirit. RIP 🪦 Len we all adore you len you can be our grandpa. Or dad. You made us all laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 we will never forget you, because you will always be with us all. Love ❤️ Sue. From Miller dance Centre.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank u Soo much for the beautiful tribute 😭😭😭😭 continue to rest in 🕊️🕊️ Len from one of your biggest fan in Grenada 🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩

he was my fave ever judge I miss him!!!!!!!

What a truly touching tribute. I remember when SCD came on TV for the first time and Len was always a character that I warmed to. No matter what the feedback was, whether it was good, bad or one that the contestants never wanted to hear he always did it in a way that made him an endearing presence on the show and one that you really respected as a head judge. He will sorely be missed.

I hope I'm not alone as the person who love Len so much. I already miss him on DWTS (US version) and I kinda forgot... he was on Strictly too😢 he was on both shows... that I follow. I miss Len so much. His humors made me laugh. Rest in Peace Len Goodman🕊

RIp:) Len Good man you will be missed in your capacity to critique dance and also for the laughter that you brought us:)💙🙏💙

I haven’t been watching Strictly like i watched Xfactor over the years like since childhood up until my 20’s but 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 when i watched that video and that whole BBC Episode in honour of him fr it’s like you have been watching him even when you haven’t 😭🤧

RIP Len Goodman ❤❤😢

I was too young to be affected by Bruce's death, so I can imagine how sad i was over hearing about Len's death is how everyone else felt with Bruce. Lost a piece of childhood then.

That makes Len Goodman the second person in strictly to die 6 years after Bruce Forsyth

This is a Ten from Len RIP Len Goodman

God bless Len Goodman. I will always remember him shouting 7!!!!

Anton's concluding quote just broke my heart. Usually, I agreed with Craig's critique - not with Len's. Len was never an objective judge: he cared more about the program than about objective evaluations. But he was an ultimate showman, folksy jokes et all. His name is forever ingrained in the SCD history.

Rest in peace len. You will be missed

Sounds like a completely different Len from the one we saw on Dancing with the Stars, yet he was loved on both sides of the pond.

God bless you Len, you are what Strictly is all about ❤

Such a beautiful tribute for Len. ❤ RIP 🙏 Len

You cant think of strictly from the start without Len. He was amazing.

RIP Len Goodman Lens Lens and also 7

He was a good man I miss Len

Craig and anton cried

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO LEN GOODMAN. 🥺🥺🥹🥹🤍🤍🌟🌟#LEGEND #TEACHER #JUDGE #DANCER #MENTOR #FRIEND #FATHER #GRANDFATHER

Len goodman and Bruce Forsyth together again up in heaven! 🙏

in tears 😭😭😭

Goodbye Len 😢

❤

💜😭👏🙏💐💜😭👏🙏💐 That was a beautiful tribute everyone!!!! 💜😭👏🙏💐💜😭👏🙏💐 I bawled my eyes out watching this and still can't believe he's gone 😭😭😭😭 Sending lots of love, prayers, and condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones 💜💜💜💜 May you enjoy dancing with the angels above Len 💜💐💜💐💜💐💜💐

I know that it’s been a while since she hasn’t been judging strictly. But I’m in America and this was going to be the second season that he wasn’t judging. But it’s differently, knowing that there’s no way he he could be back at the table. He’s a reason why I watch the show and I love watching the show.

He will also be missed on the American Dancing With the Stars. His criticism was ultimately always constructive.

R.I.P😢🕊

RIP Len goodman you'll be missed

I am crying watching this, he was strictly, and much as i love it, it has lost a little something since he went.

I wanna say on my behalf of my entertainment family I want to say about Len what I think about him I think he is everything he was a father figure to all his female and men contestants and a true legend grate judge on dancing with the stars and also he is definitely a outgoing person and a funny comedian he was and a true passion for the arts and the dance and he loves music one good thing about him is grate dancer he is and he is the man who never knew and his legacy will never be forgotten and his work will live on forever through with his amazing talents he had there is a iconic quote from our king of pop mr Michael Jackson when he was alive I remember him he said that he loves watching dancing with the stars he said about dancers is dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive the ecstasy of Divine union through my music and dance that means he is saying is Dancing is a passion for to heal the world to those who are believers for Len he is a believer and he was blessed with that talent he’d had to world and a very kind hearted person he is and I remember watching him on dancing with the stars sometimes when he sees one contestants miss a dance step he gets upset and mad sometimes he always gets his way but now he is no longer with us anymore because when someone who believes in something they are heal and those who believes in Jesus Christ they shall have eternal life and a everlasting love in the glory of god he is the man for Len he will be missed and never be forgotten let’s make the world to better place for Len and by showing the world who we are and love for dance they say in bible we all shell dance around the lord and let’s celebrate the life of true colours of this world by dancing and singing your hearts out may Len Rest In Peace and they will leave you alone and go to the light Len you are our star of the making and a fabulous guy goodbye and goodnight Rip Len Goodman April 25 1944 + April 22 2023 The legend and an angel of the dance

Loved that man. He left a big hole in that show when he left to only judge on the US show. A great loss.

2:46 Press F To Pay Respect To Len Goodman And Others Too. 2:52

A true gentleman RIP Len… see you again 😢in the stars ⭐️

Stopped watching "Strictly..." years ago! It was never the same without Bruce and Len!

And we do have a passing to note from Tess and Claudia. Len Goodman has been on DWTS and SCD for decades and the 32 year veteran left a legacy in the ballroom and as they say goodbye to two ballrooms one on BBC One and on ABC, SCD and DWTS lived in another with the family and our thoughts are with the pros of the U.K. and pros of Hollywood as we say thanks for the dance. The Legendary man who took the mirror ball trophies twice from London to Hollywood dying of Bone Cancer on April 22 2023 with her family with him in his Royal Tunbridge Well United Kingdom home at the aged of what? Was he 76, 77 or 78? More on today notes of life on their website and RU-vid today.....and celebrating the life of a member of the great white way....Legendary star, Michael McGrath a tony award superstar here in these pictures best known for starring in Tootsie, most recent play followed was Spamalot and was the man behind the legendary star as Gleason and was a fictional character in The Patsy until he was cast in Nice Work If You Can Get It. No cause of death was given on Thursday. Survived by his wife and actor Tony DiBuono, Michael McGrath was 65 years old.

What time on the show did they do it I’m trying to find it

Rip len thank you for judging both this version strictly come dancing and the American version dancing with the stars

10 for len

For Len The 10

This was nice but nothing beats the Dancing With the Stars tribute with the original pros dancing to Moon River for him. Not a dry eye in the room

RIP Len

Sad 😞 sorry to good bye Len Goodman judge
