Len Goodman has quit Dancing with the Stars after a sparkling 17 years.
The 78-year-old - who left his position as head judge on Strictly in 2016 - made his shock announcement during the semi-finals of the show in America on Monday (Nov 14).
Addressing the audience with a tear in his eye, he said: "Whilst we're all getting excited and looking forward so much to the finale next week, it will also be with a touch of sadness as this will be my last season judging on Dancing With the Stars.
