Len Goodman Not Returning to 'Dancing with the Stars'

So sad – Len Goodman won’t be a judge on this upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars!

The 71-year-old dancer has been a judge since the show started back in 2005.

“Len will not be returning as a judge this season on Dancing With the Stars due to his schedule as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing in the UK and the birth of his new grandson,” DWTS executive producer Rob Wade told Us Weekly in a statement. Len, 71, is also part of Strictly Come Dancing, which is popular in the UK.

Len was an original judge alongside Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. Julianne Hough joined the table back in season 19.
