Strictly star Len Goodman, who sadly died over the weekend, was previously diagnosed with cancer twice.
Len, who is reported to have died from bone cancer, according to the Daily Mail, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009 and skin cancer in 2020.

Len had a small facial melanoma removed in August 2020, and campaigned for greater awareness of skin cancer, particular among golfers, following his diagnosis.
