Suited and booted, it’s a ten for stylish Len

- By Michael Knowles

FORMER head judge Len Goodman may have left Strictly’s glitz behind – but turning on the style still suits him.

The 73-year-old looked snazzy in a blue outfit – complete with striped tie and hankie – as he posed beside a taxi for a TV advert.

And despite the brolly Len was in a sunny mood as he filmed the ad for his latest album, released by Sony and featuring some of his favourite British artists.

A source said of the shoot at Chatham Docks, Kent: “It wasn’t his usual scene but Len’s game for a laugh and has lost none of his charisma.”

Len has previously released compilatio­n albums called Crooners and Swooners and Ballroom Bonanza.

Speaking about Shirley Ballas, his successor on the hit BBC One dancing show, he said: “She’s a terrific dancer and I’m sure she’s got a great personalit­y.

“What she doesn’t know about ballroom and Latin, you don’t want to know.”
