Len: We Don't Remember Winners

Head Judge Len Goodman has admitted that he can't always remember the best performers on Strictly, but the dance disasters stand out in the mind.

He told the Belfast Telegraph: "It's a bizarre thing, but we all remember the Ann Widdecombes and the John Sergeants and Russell Grants. Quite often we remember them more than we remember the ones who win."

It is a sad fact about Strictly that some of the most talented performers just blend into the long list of former participants. For some, Strictly will be mentioned in every article written about them, for others it never gets mentioned. And some aren't even famous anymore.
