Strictly Judge Shirley Ballas paid a touching tribute to her 'wonderful' friend Len Goodman on Loose Women
Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas appeared on Wednesday afternoon's instalment of Loose Women as she paid a heartfelt tribute to Len Goodman, following the news of his tragic death on Monday at the age of 78.
But she had a very sentimental reason for her glam appearance on the show, as she spoke of the nickname the late showbiz star once gave her. Shirley said: "I have a lot of good friends in the industry who all loved Len. He was a really big part of our lives." The star, who would have turned 79 the day after his death, previously suffered from a number of health issues before he passed away surrounded by his family on Saturday in a hospice in Tunbridge Wells in Kent.
