Better Late Than Never

Better Late Than Never

Better Late Than Never is the extraordinary story of how a man born into poverty in London's East End went on to find stardom late in life when he was chosen to be head judge on BBC One's "Strictly Come Dancing". Len will be telling all about his new found fame not only his experiences on "Strictly Come Dancing" but also on the no.1 US show "Dancing with Stars" and his encounters with the likes of Heather Mills-McCartney. But the real story is in his East End roots. And Len's early life couldn't be more East End. The son of a Bethnal Green costermonger - he spent his formative years running the fruit and veg barrow and being bathed at night in the same water they used to cook the beetroot.There are echoes of Billy Elliot too. Though Len was a welder in the London Docks he dreamt of being a professional footballer and came close to making the grade had he not broken his foot on Hackney Marshes. The doctor recommended ballroom dancing as a light aid to his recovery. And Len it turned out was a natural. At first his family and work mates mocked but soon he had made the final of a national competition and the welders descended en masse to the Albert hall to cheer him on.With his dance partner and then wife Cheryl Len won the British Championships in his late twenties and retired soon after. Funny and heart warming Len's autobiography has all the honest East End charm of a Tommy Steele Mike Read or Roberta Taylor that we know works so well with book buyers.
