Len Goodman has never minced his words and once took a brutal swipe at the Strictly Come Dancing judges, calling them “stupid”.
The former head judge, 78, made the comment as he shared his thoughts on Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh’s stint on the show.
Ranvir missed out on a spot in the final in 2020 and Len thought she was “fantastic” throughout the whole series.

Behind them, judges Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse got up out of their chairs dancing along.
Len said: “Look at those stupid judges, what’s the matter with them? Sit down and get on with your judging!”
Speaking about Ranvir’s Jive – which received low marks from the judges – he continued: “It was just the rotten luck that she got the one dance that didn’t suit her on the most important semi-final.
“However, throughout the series, she was terrific. She was one of my certainties to make the final.”
Len left the show in 2016.
This came after Ranvir’s GMB colleague Charlotte Hawkins said she thought the star was robbed of a place in the final.
Appearing on Lorraine, she was asked by host Lorraine Kelly: “How well did our Ranvir do on Strictly?!”
What did Charlotte say about Ranvir?
“I know, she was brilliant,” Charlotte replied.

“She claimed she had no dancing experience, but you take a look at that… she’s obviously had this sort of ballroom dancer inside of her that’s been bursting to come out.
“I think she was robbed, she should still be in there for the final. She did phenomenally.”
