Len Goodman, who spent 14 series as the lead judge on Strictly Come Dancing, has died at the age of 78.
He passed away on Saturday surrounded by his family in a hospice in Kent, where he was battling bone cancer.
His agent said in a statement that he "always kept his sense of humour and had great dignity".

"A much loved husband, father and grandfather who will be sorely missed by family, friends and all who knew him."
The ballroom dancer served as a judge on the hit BBC show from 2004 to 2016.
His call of "sev-en!" became a catch phrase during his time on the show and made him a fan favourite with viewers.
