Bruno Tonioli, another judge on “Dancing With The Stars,” posted a touching picture of himself and Goodman holding hands and wrote, “Hart broken my dear friend and partner for 19 years the one and only ballroom LEGEND #LenGoodman passed away I will treasure the memories of our adventures @bbcstrictly @officialdwts there will never be anyone like you you will always be my perfect 10.”

Outside of TV, Goodman ran the Goodman Dance Academy in Kent, which was a dance school. His autobiography, “Better Late Than Never: From Barrow Boy to Ballroom,” came out in 2009. He also wrote “Dancing Around Britain” and “Lost London.”
