Mabus isn’t the only candidate the show is reportedly eyeing. Shirley Ballas, 62, from “Strictly Come Dancing” is also a top choice. “Len’s exit leaves a huge hole in the panel, but the show’s team felt Shirley would be a really great addition,” the source added.

“While we’re all getting excited and looking forward to next week’s finale, it will also come with a touch of sadness, and this will be my last season judging ‘Dancing with the Stars,'” the judge said on a recent episode. “I’ve been with the show since it started in 2005, and it’s been a pleasure to be a part of such a great show, but I’ve decided to spend more time with my kids and family.”
“Dancing With the Stars” host Tyra Banks shared some sweet words after Goodman announced his retirement.
“You have inspired generations of dancers around the world through your passion and through your expertise and through your laser-focused eyes,” Banks said. “And they will continue that commitment to excellence forever.”
Professional dancer Cheryl Burke, who is also retiring from the show, thanked Goodman for everything he taught her. “You have been a huge part of why ballroom dancing continues to entertain millions of people at home who gather around their TV screens every week,” he wrote on social media. “Thank you for changing my life and bringing joy to millions of people who have watched us over the years.”
