Edit page. Leonard Gordon "Len" Goodman born 25 April is an English professional ballroom dancer, dance judge, and coach. He also runs a ballroom dance school in Dartford, Kent. Early life Goodman was born in Bethnal Green, London. One of his maternal great-great-grandfathers was a Polish immigrant.

Goodman moved to Blackfen when he was six years old and attended Westwood Secondary Modern School where he was a member of the cricket team. Goodman started dancing at the age of 19, after a short time as an apprentice welder for Harland and Wolff in Woolwich. Goodman turned professional, won various competitions, and retired from dancing after winning the British Championships at Blackpool in his late twenties.

However, in July , Goodman announced he would be leaving the show at the end of its 14th series. His final appearance was on the Christmas Day Special. He left the show for season 21, but returned the following season.

It capitalised on his experience as a welder at Harland and Wolff. Goodman interviewed descendants of survivors and introduced viewers to memorials and significant sites in the United Kingdom. In August , Goodman was one of a number of well known faces taking part in ITV's two-part documentary series Secrets from the Clink. Goodman played music that he grew up with, mostly of an easy nature together with spoken memories of his young life and family. Goodman has featured in advertisements for frozen food supermarket Farmfoods with his catchphrase "It gets a ten from Len".
