He was in a hospice in Kent before he tragically died in April after a battle with bone cancer.
A statement from his agent at the time read: “It is with great sadness that I announce that Len Goodman has passed away peacefully at the age of 78.
“A much loved husband, father and grandfather who will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.”
But his death certificate reveals he died after prostate cancer spread to his bones, the Express reports.
Len has previously spoken about his health battles following a prostate cancer scare in March 2009.
He underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor that appeared while filming Strictly and Dancing with the Stars.
Len said: “Obviously I was worried at first. We all worry if we get something like this.
“You feel a bit vulnerable, but as long as you come out the other side of the line, why worry?”
In 2020, Len also revealed that he had skin cancer removed from his forehead.
Charity Melanoma Fund shared a picture of the star with a large bandage on his head.
Len later recounted how he was advised to go for a mole check while playing golf.
He said: “It’s good that it was because it was like a bit of an early warning, which was good because I probably would have carried on in my cute way and it could have turned into something much worse!”
