[Len Goodman, who spent many years
as one of the judges on Strictly Come Dancing,
has died aged 78, according to his agent.

In a statement, his agent Jackie Gill
said: "It is with great sadness to announce
that Len Goodman has passed
away peacefully, aged 78.

"A much loved husband, father and
grandfather who will be sorely missed by
family, friends and all who knew him."]
