Len Goodman, medallion man: Strictly judge seen shirtless on Dancing With The Stars

Strictly judge Len Goodman was left embarrassed when a clip was shown of him baring all on the US  version Dancing With The Stars last night.
The curmudgeonly critic, 66, had slated teen activist, single mother and daughter of Sarah Palin, Bristol, 19, for her 'overly sexy' rumba which saw her professional partner Mark Ballas whip his shirt off.
Goodman said afterwards :'You don't see me taking my shirt off and exposing myself.' However, host Tom Bergeron left Goodman red-faced when he dug out a clip of Goodman on the show last year - which showed the judge topless.

Joke's on you: Fellow judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli laughed along as Len took the clip in good humour too

The comedy sketch broadcast during last year's run of the show showed a shirtless Goodman wearing a thick gold chain with a fake tattoo on his chest.
