Out to lunch with Len Goodman

out_to_lunch_oct_08From his humble beginnings as a welder, Len Goodman, 64, has risen to become a star on both sides of the Atlantic. After taking up ballroom dancing to strengthen his bones, Len won the British Championships and now runs two dance schools. He is also a judge on Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars.
