Strictly Come Dancing 2007

Strictly Come Dancing judge, Len Goodman is reportedly holding out from signing his Strictly Come Dancing contract with the BBC, until they up his wages.

Last year Len reportedly wore himself out whilst filming for Strictly Come Dancing in the UK and Dancing With Stars in the States. He refuses to do the same this year unless the BBC make it really worth his while.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: “Len wore himself out trying to do both shows at the same time at the end of last year. He was leaving the BBC studio and catching the plane to Los Angeles.

It is just not possible to carry on like that – unless the money makes it worth his while.”

A BBC spokesman said: “It is our policy not to discuss contracts.”

    Taxi for Len!

    All of the judges are trying this trick. The BBC should not cave in over it. Can you see all of them giving up their 60k job and going back to …… what? No way, they are just trying it on.
    If anyone should get more money it should be the dancers, they do all the hard work.
    There are lots of people out there with dance background who could do the judges job so easily.
    Paul Killick, Donny Burns, Hanna kartunen, John Byrnes to name but a few. There should be 5 judges to make the dance off fair and there should be just one celeb non dancer on there.
    Len goes to USA from his own choice,perhaps he should just stay there, how will more money make it any less tiring. Get real Len!
