Strictly Come Dancing head judge, Len Goodman, has tipped GMTV presenter Andrew Castle for great things during this series of the show.

Andrew is expected to break the tradition of really bad dancing GMTV presenters by making it through the initial stages of the show because of his talent and not on the basis of a sympathy vote.

“He’s going to be the one that breaks the mould of the GMTV voodoo,” Goodman told the News of the World. “We’ve had Fiona Phillips and Kate Garraway, now we’ve got him. He could be quite a good dancer. He’s good-looking and a lot of people know him.”

However, Len does not expect such greatness from celebrity chef, Gary Rhodes.

“I love Karen dearly but I don’t think he’ll shape up at all,” Len explained. “He’s got nothing going for him, being a chef. He hasn’t got the actor’s background, sports person’s background, pop singer’s background. I can’t see him lasting long.”
