Len Goodman left Bruno Tonioli in tears when he made the emotional decision to quit Dancing with the Stars. Last November, the former Strictly Come Dancing judge announced on Dancing With The Stars that he would be hanging up his scoring paddle for the last time at the end of that series.
His announcement came just months before it was announced on Monday (April 24) that Goodman has died, aged 78. His family confirmed the former BBC One star had passed after a 'short illness', saying he had been in a hospice before he died on Saturday night (April 22).
A spokeswoman for Goodman, who the publication says had bone cancer, told MailOnline: "I can confirm he died peacefully over the weekend surrounded by his family."
