Len Goodman

Strictly Come Dancing star Len Goodman enjoys his food - but the food he loves is good, old-fashioned grub like his Nan used to make. Whilst the rest of the country's palates have rapidly broadened over the last few decades - taking on exciting new flavours, recipes and cooking techniques - Len's taste buds have stayed firmly in the realms of the past. He's never tried curry, eaten spaghetti and even pizza seems exotic. Ever since he used a pancake to wipe his face, his family said enough was enough. In this series, Len needs to give his old-fashioned palate a wake-up call, but with so much choice out there, he doesn't know where to start...Enter loveable top chef Ainsley Harriott. Ainsley is going to act as Len's guide and mentor, as Len embarks on a culinary road-trip around Britain. The two chums will travel in a special street food van, to discover the foods Len's been missing out on. Together Len and Ainsley will seek out Britain's most vibrant multi-cultural communities, where they'll meet everyone from restaurateurs to street-food vendors to discover their best-loved dishes. Centered on a different area in each episode, the series is packed with fascinating food content and reveals the social history behind these vibrant locations.

Dancing with the Stars is a unique series that pairs up celebrities with professional ballroom dance partners in an intense competition -- live -- in front of a studio audience and the nation. Each season has a select number of celebrity/professional dance pairs. The pairs are then judged by a panel of expert judges as well as by the viewers at home. One team is eliminated each week.

"Strictly Come Dancing" is a celebrity dancing extravaganza, complete with the elegance and glamor of ballroom dancing, the glitz and show stopping moves of the Latin dances. Packed full of superb dancing, fantastic live music and more talent than you can shake a stick at, it is a show that cannot be missed.
