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.”
