Bruno Tonioli breaks down after Len Goodman tribute on Dancing with the Stars

Bruno Tonioli was seen in tears after a moving tribute to his late friend and Strictly Come Dancing co-star Len Goodman aired on Dancing with the Stars, the American iteration of the dance series.

On Tuesday night (24 October), the US show paid homage to the ballroom dancer, who retired from the competition series last November, months before his death.

Professional dancers performed a specially choreographed number to Henry Mancini’s “Moon River” and a recording of Goodman’s voice was heard at the end of the performance, saying: “All good things must come to an end.”

Tonioli could be seen crying as fellow judge Carrie Ann Inaba comforted him at the end of the tribute.
