On Nov. 14 Len let a live crowd know that he’s anticipating the finale one week from now, yet there will be a ‘hint of misery’s since ‘this will be my keep going season deciding on DWTS’.

Len Goodman is leaving Hitting the dance floor with the Stars after 31 seasons. The head judge made the lamentable declaration during the Nov. 14 episode of the series while looking forward to the following week’s season finale. “This will be my last season judging ‘Hitting the dance floor with the Stars,'” Len, 78, said on Monday’s show.

“I’ve been on the show since it began in 2005, and it has been a gigantic joy to be a piece of such a great show however I’ve concluded I need to invest more energy with my grandkids and family back in England.” He proceeded, “It’s been a particularly magnificent encounter for myself and look forward such a huge amount to the following week’s finale. I’m certain it will be totally splendid.”

Len’s kindred appointed authorities Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough all got profound during the amazing declaration — they even shed a few tears. Furthermore, truly, we can’t exactly fault them. Len will be profoundly missed.

Besides the fact that he began as a head judge, close by Carrie Ann and Bruno, on Hitting the dance floor with The Stars when it debuted in 2005, yet Len likewise filled in as a head judge on BBC One’s dance contest Stringently Come Moving from 2004 until 2016. Furthermore, the main time of DWTS that he didn’t show up in was Season 21, however that was on the grounds that he had planning and family responsibilities. He played a restricted part in Season 29 since he didn’t make a trip to the U.S. in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, however he actually delivered short fragments for the show, and Derek Hough sat in as an appointed authority for him. At the point when Len returned in Season 30, the three-judge design extended to four so Derek could remain on the board. As of now, it’s not yet clear in the event that Disney+ will hope to fill Len’s empty seat or return to its three-judge design with Derek, Carrie Ann and Bruno.
