Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Len Goodman will not be able to cross the pond to judge Dancing with the Stars this season. He also will not be able to go live with Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba because the show starts filming at 1a in London. Therefore, the grumpy judge will stay over in England to work on his garden with his wife and recuperate from having skin cancer removed from his forehead..
While he will not be a judge on the show, ABC promises to find a way to incorporate him into the dancing competition.
So who will be sitting in his chair? Derek Hough. The 6-time DWTS champion said on Good Morning America he is excited to be going home.
While I am not a fan of his, the fans of the show love those Houghs. Personally, I wish they would have gone with Maksim Chmerkovskiy or Karina Smirnoff because they keep it real.
Is the lesser Hough enough to make you tune in with Tyra Banks as the new host? They are so going to regret the latter decision.
