Craig's words showed he is heartbroken. He may have been his sparring partner but he was his dear friend.. Thought they would have got Bruno to say a few words , beautiful tribute none the less.
Looks like they limited that particular tribute to current Strictly personnel - I think the likes of Bruno, Arlene Phillips, Darcey Bussell, Alesha Dixon and maybe some of the former pros like Brendan Cole, Erin Boag, Karen Hardy etc would have paid their respects if the net had been cast wider. But for a small segment within the launch show, I agree it was beautifully done.
I had the honour of watching the Strictly professionals on tour perform a tribute to the great Len Goodman! They danced to ‘You’re The Voice’ by John Farnham, and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! That was a beautiful tribute! Len was one of the reasons why Strictly is so good! R.I.P legend 💔
I watched him for 20 seasons on DWTS. I grew up watching him and his kindness to others! I bet Len will continue to watch Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars in heaven. Maybe heaven is doing their own version of the show with Sir Bruce Forsyth as host and Len as the head judge.
I have Len on a few of my DVDs, so he lives on those. My favourite SCD Judge of all. "All aboard the Strictly Express. Well you better get back there and start shovelling the glitter!" Strictly Express Launch Show 2016. We can always watch that happily. You're in our hearts, Len. No-one could possibly match the Good-man you are and always will be.
R.I.P to the Legend that was Len Goodman, you will be Loveling missed by everyone, he may have always said a 7 but he will aways and forever will be a 10.
An absolutely gentleman, such a loss! RIP Len, his legacy carries on in strictly forever, I was hoping for a longer tribute and a lovely Ballroom group dance like they did for Bruce but im glad they gave him a tribute
I liked Len. He was a great judge on Strictly. He was fun, fair, gentlemanly, honest, cool and inspiring. I was sad when he left the panel and now, he's gone, I miss him.
So thrilled that Len was loved here in the UK and across the pond on Dancing With The Stars. A true character and legend of the dancefloor. What a life Len Goodman had! ❤ sending love to Len's family and friends ❤
He was my first ever judge, and told me off because my bum always stuck out🤭😂 I was only four, and I met him many times and he never failed to make me giggle. He was a lovely man and a great judge ❤
I feel like we should've seen Arlene, Bruno two original judges and also Darcy and Alesha say some words about Len it would've been extra special to see them but still a good tribute
Len was such a wonderful Judge and he had fantastic heart but also knew how to make all of the dance contestants laugh and also put a smile on their faces he was such an incredible person to watch on tv R.I.P Len Goodman what a brilliant legend him and Bruce would want all of us to keep dancing .
Aww. I loved Len, he was such a gentleman, he was very funny about everything and he can light up a room, he’s warm-hearted. You can see Craig and Anton are heartbroken bless them. I’m on the same page, I do miss him as well. He was a very sweet man. He’s one of the reasons Strictly’s still happening. R.I.P you legend 😭❤️
What a truly touching tribute. I remember when SCD came on TV for the first time and Len was always a character that I warmed to. No matter what the feedback was, whether it was good, bad or one that the contestants never wanted to hear he always did it in a way that made him an endearing presence on the show and one that you really respected as a head judge. He will sorely be missed.
I only know Len from the tele but 30 years ago I used to do youth theatre with Len's son James (who was a great actor, a good singer and a passable dancer). And given the charming person James was you know Len was a good dad. Rest Peacefully Len.
Another line I remember is "I'm a cup of tea in a world of lattes"! What a beautiful lyric: "I'll only miss him when I think of him, but I'll think of him every day."
A beautiful tribute to an iconic and irreplaceable figure of Strictly and Dancing with the Stars ❤. He had just retired from DWTS last year and they gave some lovely tributes to him on his last shows, the ones they will inevitably do on the upcoming series I will be a mess. Sweet fun fact: Shirley’s son, Mark Ballas, has been a pro on DWTS and last year, on Len’s final DWTS series, he won with his celebrity partner!
I haven’t been watching Strictly like i watched Xfactor over the years like since childhood up until my 20’s but 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 when i watched that video and that whole BBC Episode in honour of him fr it’s like you have been watching him even when you haven’t 😭🤧
I am so grateful to have met our len in person. Thank you len for encouraging us all to dance 💃 and not give up. We will always miss you len but we know you are right here with us in spirit. RIP 🪦 Len we all adore you len you can be our grandpa. Or dad. You made us all laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 we will never forget you, because you will always be with us all. Love ❤️ Sue. From Miller dance Centre.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
After Paying Tribute to Len Goodman for which his name is now The Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy and The Len Goodman Studio both in UK and Hollywood.....
I hope I'm not alone as the person who love Len so much. I already miss him on DWTS (US version) and I kinda forgot... he was on Strictly too😢 he was on both shows... that I follow. I miss Len so much. His humors made me laugh. Rest in Peace Len Goodman🕊
Anton's concluding quote just broke my heart. Usually, I agreed with Craig's critique - not with Len's. Len was never an objective judge: he cared more about the program than about objective evaluations. But he was an ultimate showman, folksy jokes et all. His name is forever ingrained in the SCD history.
I was too young to be affected by Bruce's death, so I can imagine how sad i was over hearing about Len's death is how everyone else felt with Bruce. Lost a piece of childhood then.
For me, the show's never been the same since Len left. And I mean that in both senses of the word now he's sadly no longer with us. He was such a magnetic personality and seemed like a genuinely top bloke.
💜😭👏🙏💐💜😭👏🙏💐 That was a beautiful tribute everyone!!!! 💜😭👏🙏💐💜😭👏🙏💐 I bawled my eyes out watching this and still can't believe he's gone 😭😭😭😭 Sending lots of love, prayers, and condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones 💜💜💜💜 May you enjoy dancing with the angels above Len 💜💐💜💐💜💐💜💐
I know that it’s been a while since she hasn’t been judging strictly. But I’m in America and this was going to be the second season that he wasn’t judging. But it’s differently, knowing that there’s no way he he could be back at the table. He’s a reason why I watch the show and I love watching the show.
I wanna say on my behalf of my entertainment family I want to say about Len what I think about him I think he is everything he was a father figure to all his female and men contestants and a true legend grate judge on dancing with the stars and also he is definitely a outgoing person and a funny comedian he was and a true passion for the arts and the dance and he loves music one good thing about him is grate dancer he is and he is the man who never knew and his legacy will never be forgotten and his work will live on forever through with his amazing talents he had there is a iconic quote from our king of pop mr Michael Jackson when he was alive I remember him he said that he loves watching dancing with the stars he said about dancers is dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye but the dance lives on in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive the ecstasy of Divine union through my music and dance that means he is saying is Dancing is a passion for to heal the world to those who are believers for Len he is a believer and he was blessed with that talent he’d had to world and a very kind hearted person he is and I remember watching him on dancing with the stars sometimes when he sees one contestants miss a dance step he gets upset and mad sometimes he always gets his way but now he is no longer with us anymore because when someone who believes in something they are heal and those who believes in Jesus Christ they shall have eternal life and a everlasting love in the glory of god he is the man for Len he will be missed and never be forgotten let’s make the world to better place for Len and by showing the world who we are and love for dance they say in bible we all shell dance around the lord and let’s celebrate the life of true colours of this world by dancing and singing your hearts out may Len Rest In Peace and they will leave you alone and go to the light Len you are our star of the making and a fabulous guy goodbye and goodnight Rip Len Goodman April 25 1944 + April 22 2023 The legend and an angel of the dance
A definite 10 for Len. He and Brucie were the faces of Strictly in my eyes and it's hard to express how much Len will be missed.
He was a delight to watch on Dancing with the Stars as well. Thank you for that tribute, from US to GB. We all loved him.
@tncookies glad both our countries had Len as head judge
Anton's really chocked up here. That's genuine.
*choked
len we miss you we all do i will never um forget all those laughs you gave to me and i will never forget you
Thank you, Strictly, for sharing Len with Dancing W/ the Stars! 😌🕊

Good.point.. Errin got him the judges job and I have seen her heartfelt tribute to Len somewhere else.

Him and Bruce were a power duo
Bruce?

But at least they're back together up in the skies.
I agree.
Now they can be together forever
Such a Beautiful man. We Miss you all ❤❤
That nearly brought this hard man to tears.
SEVEEEEEEEENNNNNN, Rest in peace len, I will always remember the number 7 in such a unique way that you said it in

I miss you Len Goodman you were a real gentleman and a sweetheart I love you Xxx
One of Len's many quotable things was "Success comes in cans, not can'ts" and I think that's a great thing to live by
I don’t think I’ve heard that before. Love. It.
Aweee CRaig!!!! ❤❤❤ RIP Len Goodman

Sounds like a completely different Len from the one we saw on Dancing with the Stars, yet he was loved on both sides of the pond.
He’s the same Len

@matthartley.1667 we were lucky to have Len as head judge on strictly and dancing with the stars.
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 no doubt about it
@@MattJr4793 I've seen the tribute they did on dancing with the stars and Bruno was upset.
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 yeah it was a very interesting tribute
You cant think of strictly from the start without Len. He was amazing.
RIp:) Len Good man you will be missed in your capacity to critique dance and also for the laughter that you brought us:)💙🙏💙

I was too young to be affected by Bruce's death, so I can imagine how sad i was over hearing about Len's death is how everyone else felt with Bruce. Lost a piece of childhood then.
Bruce was one of those celebrities we absolutely dreaded that one day we would have to face losing, we're losing all the greats.
For me, the show's never been the same since Len left. And I mean that in both senses of the word now he's sadly no longer with us. He was such a magnetic personality and seemed like a genuinely top bloke.
I enjoyed Len Goodman for 7 wonderful seasons on “Dancing with the Stars” in USA. Rest in peace Len
RIP Len Goodman ❤❤😢
Rest in peace len. You will be missed
That makes Len Goodman
the second person in strictly to die 6 years after Bruce Forsyth
Loved that man. He left a big hole in that show when he left to only judge on the US show. A great loss.
This was nice but nothing beats the Dancing With the Stars tribute with the original pros dancing to Moon River for him. Not a dry eye in the room
Such a beautiful tribute for Len. ❤ RIP 🙏 Len
This is a Ten from Len

I am crying watching this, he was strictly, and much as i love it, it has lost a little something since he went.
