Although the 77-year-old star was head judge on the BBC dance show for 12 years, he admitted that he struggles to remember any of the stars who took home the glitterball trophy.
According to The Sun newspaper's TV Biz column, he said: "If you ask me to name 10 former winners, I couldn’t possibly."
However, Len does remember the contestants who didn't perform quite so well.
Len - who features on new TV show 'Can I Improve My Memory?' - explained: "You remember Russell Grant and Ann Widdecombe but you don’t remember who won it.
“I suppose it’s to do with the fact that your brain retains things that have made you laugh or made you smile, whereas facts and information just go out the window as soon as it’s over.”
Meanwhile, Len - who was replaced by Shirley Ballas when he stepped down in 2016 - revealed he finds it difficult to watch the show without critiquing the judges and contestants.
He previously explained: “I enjoy it. I try to watch it just as a punter, just to be entertained, but it’s difficult because you’re always judging things and I’m always thinking of things the judges should have said.”
