In a photo from one of the very first series of Strictly, the judge wrote: “I have just woken up to the sad news that my wonderful colleague and dear friend Len Goodman has passed away.
My heart and love go out to his lovely wife Sue and family. Len ‘goody’ Goodman is what I called him and “it’s a ten from Len and seveeeeern” will stay with me forever.
“Rest in peace Len.”
Len was a much loved judge on Strict after joining the show when it launched in 2004 and remaining on the panel until 2016.
In addition to gaining a legion of fans in the UK, he also became a big name in the US after taking part in the US version of the show Dancing With The Stars.
He stayed with the series from 2005 to 2022.
Len died surrounded by his loved ones after a private battle with bone cancer.
A spokesperson for the star told MailOnline: “I can confirm he passed away peacefully over the weekend surrounded by his family.”
