Len Goodman, the hugely popular judge on Dancing with the Stars and Strictly Come Dancing, passed away peacefully on Saturday, as communicated by his agent on Monday morning.
Part of Goodman’s charm were his many, many catchphrases and quips during the television shows and as we remember the former dancer, we pick out some of our favourites. Appropriately enough we have chosen SEVEEEEEN!
Sad to hear of the passing of Len Goodman. Spent a memorable day with him on the golf course, with a splendid dinner afterwards where we shared a bottle of our wine. A no nonsense type of Gentleman, which was right up my street. RIP Len.. SEVEN!! ❤️M pic.twitter.com/q9qZcFNbxm
The wonderful Len Goodman has left us. He was so kind and lovely to me when I was on @bbcstrictly and we met on other programmes including his own filmed at BBC Glasgow. The word legend is overused but Len and his 'SEVEN' became a catchphrase across UK & USA. A true character 7⃣ pic.twitter.com/3067E6PvxO
OK, I’m sensing you want some more. Here are a further selection of some of his greatest lines. Which are your favs?
Len Goodman had the gift of combining kindness with honesty. When I was in the final of #Strictly he said 'We've got two thoroughbreds and a Shetland pony.' RIPLen
