Strictly judge Len Goodman was last pictured hugging his pal Bruno Tonioli in November just months before the sad news of his death broke today.
The seasoned star, 78, flashes a huge grin in the photo Bruno captions the post: Celebrating the one and only ballroom legend Len Goodman you are the best my friend best partner I could have wished for @dancingwiththestars @bbcstrictly what an incredible adventure we sheared happy retirement love always Bruno."
Len later announced in November that he'd quit Dancing With The Stars in the US, where he'd been a judge for 17 years.
