Judge Len Goodman is 'massive part of the show' says Strictly Come Dancing finalist

Georgia May Foote said she was "sad" when she heard head judge Len Goodman was leaving Strictly Come Dancing.

The former Coronation Street actress - who was a finalist in last year's show - said the judge was a "massive part" of the programme and his replacement would need to "calm everybody down".

Foote, who is dating Strictly dancer Giovanni Pernice, also told BBC Radio 5 live's Sarah Brett that her partner can't wait to start the new series.
