Len Goodman

Strictly ex-judge Len Goodman has slammed Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood ahead of the final on BBC One tonight.

He added: “I think Shirley has done a wonderful job, she stayed true to herself and didn’t try to be like me. No one in the semi-final should be getting a seven and for Will, it should have been an eight or nine.” No way was that a ten. I said: ‘What were you thinking of, giving that girl a ten?’. “I’ve been on the show since it started in 2005, and it has been a huge pleasure to be a part of such a wonderful show but I’ve decided I want to spend more time with my grandchildren and family back in Britain.” Ballroom dancing is supposed to be an elegant thing.” I’d have given him a nine,” Len told I don’t like it. He gave Fleur [East] a ten for her paso doble. He gave Will [Mellor] a seven for his pasodoble. I keep shouting: ‘WILL YOU SIT DOWN, SHIRLEY’. She gave him a seven, too.
