He discovered his passion for dancing at 19 and decided to pursue it as a career. He was a well-recognized professional dancer before he ventured into Television. He became the head judge on the British dancing reality show “Strictly Come Dancing,” when the program premiered in 2004. He left the show in 2016 after serving for 12 years, leaving Shirley Ballas to take over.

Tom Bergeron worked with Len Goodman in “Dancing With the Stars” for a long time until his departure in 2019. He surprised his fans via a Twitter post by revealing he would not return as host on the show’s 29th season, noting that being on the show for 15 years was an unexpected gift of his career.
