Oh gawd I'm going to miss Len! What a corker of a man. #StrictlyFinal

The show marked the occasion by playing an emotional montage highlighting his best bits from all 14 series, and dedicating a special professional dance just for him.
And as viewers savour their final sights of the man himself, these are the things they’ll miss the most:
1. The unexpected moments
LEN GAVE ORE A STANDING OVATION! WOW! #StrictlyFinal

2. The unfaltering desire to please him
That was a proper Len-pleaser. #StrictlyFinal

3. The wealth of his knowledge
With Len Goodman's last show we lose another person from public life who actually knows what he's talking about. #StrictlyFinal

4. The insightful observations
Len Goodman says @OreOduba is "The Spirit of Strictly" and he's SO RIGHT. The only finalist with no prior training... Vote! #StrictlyFinal

7. The ‘seveeeeeen’s
Oh no, just had a moment of crushing disappointment realising Len is unlikely to give a "Seven!" tonight. #StrictlyFinal #Strictly #RIPSeven

Len’s are some pretty big shoes to fill.
