Strictly Come Dancing professional Robin 'Bobby' Windsor has died at the age of 44.
The dancer was on the hit BBC One show between 2010 and 2015, and was paired with Dragon's Den star Deborah Meaden, Emmerdale's Lisa Riley, EastEnders star Anita Dobson and Patsy Kensit. He also danced with Susanna Reid in 2011’s Children In Need special, and Bake Off host Alison Hammond in the 2015 Christmas special.
The sad news was announced on the official Facebook page of Burn The Floor, which is a dance company founded by Windsor in 1997.
The statement reads: “The Burn the Floor family has lost one of its founding members, Robin “Bobby” Windsor - who has tragically passed away. A BTF journeyman he danced with us for twenty years - including Broadway, The West End and all our crazy adventures around the world. His stunning image attached with Jessica Raffa defined our company, colourful, extreme and sensual.
“His talent, attitude, energy and personality helped create the Burn the Floor stage reputation. He leaves a void in our hearts that will never be filled, yet our wonderful memories will stay forever 💔”
The dancer most recently featured in Moulin Rouge tribute show, Come What May.
Tributes are flooding in, with Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood taking to X (formerly Twitter) to write: “I have just heard the tragic news my dear friend ’Bobby’ Robin Windsor has passed. He was one of the kindest, gentle, honest, funny and caring people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with. He will be forever missed. My heart goes out to all his family & friends. RIP darling man, you were truly loved x ”
Susanna Reid shared her memories on Good Morning Britain.
Presenter Dan Walker wrote: “How sad to hear about the death of Robin Windsor. Just 44 years old! He sent me the kindest message when I was on Strictly and he was loved by so many on that show.
A statement from Sisco Entertainment, which represented Robin, said in a statement that his "presence in Come What May was more than just a performance, it was an embodiment of passion, grace and sheer talent. "
The statement added: "Robin’s vibrant spirit lit up the room, infusing rehearsals and performances with infectious energy and warmth. His laughter was contagious, his kindness boundless.
“His friendship was a gift cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Robin, you will be deeply missed."
The thoughts of everyone at Virgin Radio are with Robin's friends and family.
