The medical examiner has determined what ki!!ed Len Goodman. Jackie Gill, Goodman’s manager, revealed to BBC News that the former head judge on Dancing with the Stars p@ssed away from bone c@ncer. A hospice in Kent, England is where Goodman p@ssed away on Saturday. At his d*mise, he was surrounded by loved ones.
Since the show started in 2005, the former professional dancer and dance coach was one of the original judges. After starring for 20 seasons, he left the show for a year in Season 21, then returned for Seasons 22 through 28. In 2022, he made his exit from the position official.
“To do a live show, you have to be at the top of your game and quick to adapt. And as one gets older, then things start to get more challenging.” In other words, “I haven’t fallen asleep or started dribbling yet on the show, so I thought it’s best to go before I start to do so!”

“I will miss the California sunshine, working with my fellow judges and the camaraderie with everyone on the show,” he added. “I’ll miss seeing the celebrities developing into dancers and I will miss being part of one of the most successful shows on TV.”
From 2004 to 2016, Goodman presided over the British version of Dancing with the Stars, Strictly Come Dancing. After overcoming prostate c@ncer, Goodman focused his energy on opening a dancing academy in Kent, England called Goodman dancing Academy. Goodman is survived by his wife, Sue Barrett, and his adult son from a past relationship, James. Cherry Kingston was Goodman’s ex-wife. You can see the official tweet by Dancing With The Stars below.

“It’s one of my failures,” Goodman admitted of his marriage to The Guardian in 2012. “I’ve given everything my all, but I know the underlying cause is on my end. My worst flaw is that I’m too interested in satisfying my own desires. With Sue [his third wife], I’ve been working to alter that.”
The difficulty with dying, Goodman, who was 67 at the time of the interview, told the site, “is that everyone believes you were wonderful. I hope people see me as someone who is genuinely kind. I hope that someday there will be individuals who can say, Len! Oh yeah, he had a lot more good in him than evil.”
