Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas is reportedly in the frame to replace Len Goodman on Dancing With The Stars.

Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas is reportedly in the frame to replace Len Goodman on Dancing With The Stars.

Earlier this week Goodman, 78, announced that he would be leaving the US show at the end of the current 31st season, having appeared as a judge on every prior season but two.

Ballas replaced Goodman when he left Strictly in 2016 and could now supposedly do the same on DWTS, a move that would likely see her attempt to juggle both shows.

A source told The Sun: "Len's exit leaves a big hole in the panel, but the show team feel Shirley would be a really great addition.

"Her experience is unrivalled and she has made no secret of the fact she'd love to spend more time with her son Mark, who is based in the US with wife Brittany.

"She could hold both her Strictly job and a new role on Dancing with the Stars - as Len did for years."

Also on the panel of the US version are Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba and former Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli.
