Len Goodman will return for Season 22 of Dancing With the Stars

Nov 29, 2015, 02:15

Never has a producer, and I promise you, has ever come up to us and said, "mark so and so a bit higher, we'd love them to stay in". And while the cast of the ABC show celebrated their victory, it looks like the pros and judges Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Julianne Hough have another reason to be happy as Len Goodman confirmed that he will be returning to the show for its 22nd season. The fact that we performed a Fred and Ginger number and got our best score yet of 35 was the icing on the cake.

During her appearance on It Takes Two, Jamelia said: "I think we did a great last dance".

Now, first, I would have to take issue with the statement that this is a "shocking revelation", because I have to say, I have always assumed that the judges would watch rehearsals, just as The X Factor judges do...

"They never interfere with our integrity, they never tell us what to say, we are not scripted to say this or that", he stated.

Presumably, the show will return to the four-judge format seen in seasons 19 and 20.

Goodman decided not to serve as a judge this season due to a scheduling conflict with the British TV series Strictly Come Dancing, where Goodman also serves as a judge.

Let's say for instance that someone's salsa was outstanding during rehearsals, but absolutely trousers on the night; the judges would have to respond to the live on-air performance, not to anything they'd seen in rehearsals!

The news comes just days after Peter's ex-wife Katie Price publicly announced that she was rooting for him to win the show.

"It doesn't make it right or wrong, it's taste and that's how dancing works".

A Strictly spokesman confirmed Andre was given a standing ovation by the audience and that the one Jamelia saw being recorded was used for "bridging purposes, to ensure continuity on the show".

Professional Ola Jordan told The Sun: "People are over-marked and under-marked".
