Aljaz Skorjanec has opened up about Len Goodman's future replacement
The 72-year-old ballroom dancing king announced last year that he was leaving the show after 12 years.
Ever since then speculation about who will take his place has been rife, with professional dancers Anton Du Beke and Karen Hardy the hot favourites to fill the empty seat on the judging panel
Speaking to Express.co.uk at a Strictly Come Dancing press event, Aljaž, who was partnered with Daisy Lowe last year, revealed who he thought would replace Len.

Aljaž is currently preparing for the Strictly Come Dancing tour where he has been reunited with his 2016 celebrity partner, Daisy.
