The veteran judge explained that he fears the BBC could axe him and his fellow judges at any moment if it wanted to.
He told The Sun : "The BBC will get rid of me before I want to get rid of the BBC. I have no desire to retire because once you retire you never have a day off.
"I'm happy doing this. But there will come a time when the bosses think, 'We've had enough of old Len - he's getting dithery and doddery' and all that."
He continued: "As long as I feel I do the show to the best of my ability, then I'll keep going until they kick me out. And I think I've got a few more series in me yet.
"But there are loads of people who could replace me. I'm sure they would find someone.
"The producer, Izzie Pick, once told me that if a plane crashed and all the judges were killed - with Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly - the show would still go on. They would find new people to replace us.
"But I don't worry about that call saying that I am being dropped - it is what it is."
