Len Goodman is still Strictly Come Dancing's best paid judge four years after he quit show

Len Goodman is still Strictly’s best paid judge, four years after he quit.

The 76-year-old this week said he had no regrets about leaving – but his bank balance also hints at why.

Len’s accounts show his company is worth £2million more than a firm helmed by Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli.

His company, Pleasurable Pastimes, ­netted an extra £300,000 in the last 12 months, taking its value to £4.8million.

Len quit Strictly in 2016 after 12 years on the show, but stayed on the US version, which sources say is more lucrative.

He also earns from his dance academy, DVDs, books and media work.

This week, he insisted he left the UK show at the right time, saying: “I couldn’t think of what else to say about the Viennese Waltz!”

Len was Strictly’s top earner – trousering £250,000 a series.

Bruno, 64, got the same for the last series and his company, Fulvia Ltd, is worth £2.9million.
