I think hes been quite grumpy at times in the last few series (he was in a pissed off mood last week- god knows what happened there!)
Anyone notice no Brucie tribute in the last vox pops for Len? I think this points to him being unwell, as I think there would have been if he was well enough. |

Another who I think would have loved it was the late great Peggy Spencer who died earlier this year at 96. I had the privilege of knowing her slightly having attended many of her classes both at Croydon and Penge. |

I have just seen that the wonderful Loraine Barry is to be a judge on DWTS Ireland. Fantastic news for DWTS Ireland....Strictly should have snapped her up,

He brought knowledge and experience to his role. |

I'll miss him too, the only one with real ballroom/latin knowledge. Hope his replacement has the same credentials and isn't Karen Hardy!

This...unless they replace him with someone from the same sort of background I suspect the whole thing will just deteriorate into a fifteen week show dance type free for all |

Whoever is Len's replacement, I don't think we'll know until the hype starts for next year's show. No PR advantage in doing it any earlier.

I agree imo he thinks he is the greatest thing since Sliced Bread and he manipulates the show as much as he can to suit his agenda. All this hype last night about him leaving the show when he is in fact going to America to earn more Money is pathetic.imo.
I can tell you for real what Len intends to do : First: spend as much time as he can with his lovely wife Sue, his son James and his gorgeous little granddaughter Alice. Second : he wants to spend as much time as he can on the golf course; next to his family golf is probably his greatest love. |

DWTS Ireland already has the fabulous Loraine Barry - its a great shame SCD did not snap her up. Lets hope that they have someone equally as qualified in mind. Loraine is/was one of my favourite dancers of all time

He is not 'going to America'..... He has one more year on his contract for DWTS which he is obligated to fulfil, but even now he doesn't go every week. I think he did the first 2 weeks of the last series, and the last week - and the money is adjusted accordingly. After next year he will leave that altogether. As for manipulating the show to suit his agenda ...... do you really believe he has THAT much influence! Weird.
