Anton Du Beke has told of his shock at Len Goodman’s death after the former Strictly head judge kept his bone cancer a secret.
Len died in a hospice last month, just three days before his 79th birthday. Anton, 56, said: “I knew Len as man and boy really, we became very good friends.
“But I didn’t know he was ill, it was the suddenness of it. And I found out in a not particularly lovely way – I was called by a TV station wanting me to go on and talk about it. That wasn’t ideal.
