Len Goodman was known on Strictly Come Dancing for his witty one-liners, which were often delivered with a dramatic sweep of the arm. While many viewers will remember him for popularising the shout of “seven”, his colourful comments extended far beyond that.
After his death at 78, here are some of his greatest remarks:
To TV presenter Anita Rani and Gleb Savchenko after their tango to Cell Block Tango: “It was like a cow pat on Countryfile – hot and steamy.”
To The Saturdays star Frankie Bridge on her foxtrot: “You floated across that floor like butter on a crumpet.”
