Ex Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman is extremely ‘saddened’ to hear that dancer Brendan Cole has been axed from the show.
The 73-year-old ballroom expert even questioned whether it was his fault, stating that that the professional dancer added a little ‘edge’ to the program.
Speaking to the Daily Mail he said: ‘I’m so sad. I don’t understand why – you can’t say he didn’t do a great job.
‘He did, and there was always a bit of an edge with him. The bad boy of the ballroom. He didn’t mind answering you back.’
