The stars of Strictly have announced a tribute show to pro dancer Robin Windsor, who died earlier this year.
Robin competed on Strictly from 2010 until 2013. His celebrity partners included Patsy Kensit, Anita Dobson, Deborah Meadon and Lisa Riley. With the latter he finished in fifth place.
The British dancer was found dead at age 44 in his hotel in February. His cause of death hasn’t been revealed. And his funeral took place the following month in his hometown of Ipswich.
Strictly will celebrate ‘the life of our dear Robin Windsor’
Last night (June 18), the Strictly Theatre Co account on Instagram revealed there will be a show dedicated to Robin Windsor in November.
The event is scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 3 at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
With tickets now on sale, all profits will go to the SANE Mental Health Charity. Strictly judge Anton Du Beke and Robin’s former dance partner Lisa will host the event.
