BBC have confirmed that all the Strictly Come Dancing judges will be back for the show's 12th series.
Many had suspected that Head Judge, Len Goodman would waltz in the footsteps of host Bruce Forsyth and announce his departure from the show.
An insider told British tabloid The Sun: "There had been fears Len might call it a day like Brucie but he has now signed."

The source continued: "With ITV revamping X Factor, the BBC is going to have a big battle to keep Strictly out in front. They will be happy they have their judging panel secured."
While the judging line up won't change, the dancing show will undergo some major revamps this year.
As earlier stated Bruce Forsyth won't return to host the show, and is being replaced by Claudia Winkleman; the star has filled in for the legendary entertainment host in the past, but will become a permanent fixture on the show.
The dancing line-up has also changed this year, Artem Chigvintsev and James Jordan will not be returning.
The celeb line-up will be revealed in September.
