Len Goodman Plans Quitting Dancing With the Stars

Len Goodman has announced that season 18 of Dancing With the Stars could be his last, but his seat at the judges’ table won’t be empty for long! Life & Style has exclusively learned that reigning champ Maksim Chmerkovskiy is itching to take his place.


“Maks really, really wants to be a judge,” a DWTS insider dishes to Life & Style. “He’s just waiting to see what Len decides before he makes his announcement.”

In light of this news, Maks’ recent confession to Life & Style about his future with DWTS makes a lot more sense: “Len and I will get together and think about [whether I will return],” Maks recently told the mag. “When the season’s over, I’m depleted. I have nothing left.” Sounds like he’s ready to take a seat at the judges’ table!-LIFE & STYLE WEEKLY
