Len Goodman has left behind a £5.3million fortune following his death at the age of 78 over the weekend.
The Strictly Come Dancing legend reportedly had more than £3.5million in the bank when he passed away just days before his 79th birthday on Saturday, with the late star also having a £2.2million property investment.
Len 's death from bone cancer was announced on Monday, with Buckingham Palace and the UK Prime Minister paying tribute to the TV legend as the sad news broke.
"It is with great sadness to announce that Len Goodman has passed away peacefully, aged 78," a statement from Len's agent read.
"A much loved husband, father and grandfather who will be sorely missed by family, friends and all who knew him."
Len leaves behind his wife Sue, who he married in 2012 in a surprise ceremony, and his son James, from a previous relationship.
Just weeks before Len's death over the weekend, accounts were signed off for the late star's company and revealed he had over £3.5million in his bank account.
The accounts for Pleasurable Pastimes, which were signed off on April 5 and cover the 12 months leading up to August 2022, also show the Dancing With The Stars judge had a £2.2million property investment.
Pleasurable Pastimes' value soared by approximately £300,000 when compared to the year previously, according to accounts filed at Companies House on April 20.
Len, his wife Sue and son James are all listed as directors of the company listed on Companies House, with Sue and James' occupations as dance teachers also noted online.
As the news of Len's death broke on Monday, celebrities rushed to social media to pay tribute to the late star and share their memories.
Strictly judge Anton Du Beke shared a picture of himself and Len and shared a lengthy statement when mourning the loss of his dear friend on Instagram this afternoon.
"I first knew him when I was a young lad and was dancing, he was my dance judge. Len was different to anyone else in the dancing business – he was a wonderful character, he had a roguishness about him - he had twinkle," Anton wrote within the tribute to Len.
"He had a way about him that you really wanted him to like you. If Len liked you, it was more important than anyone else liking you."
Piers Morgan posted a snap of himself posing with Len on the set of Good Morning Britain on Twitter, writing: "More very sad news from the world of entertainment… RIP Len Goodman, 78 - welder, dancer, judge, and devoted cricket & West Ham fan.
"Always had a laugh with Len, and swapped a few strong opinions. A quintessential Londoner and a top bloke."
Retired boxer Frank Bruno told his Twitter followers: "RIP Len Goodman this is a shock he was the man we all thought was indestructible met him several times he said he would personally give me some dance lessons if I ever got Strictly really sad."
