Robin Windsor’s final Instagram post has been revealed – after his death at the age of 44 was announced on Tuesday, February 20.

The Strictly Come Dancing star danced on the show from 2010 to 2014 and was partnered with celebrities including Lisa Riley, Patsy Kensit, Anita Dobson and Deborah Meaden.

He most recently appeared in the stage show Come What May, a tribute to Moulin Rouge.

His death was announced in a statement on the official Facebook page of his dance company, Burn The Floor, which he founded.

It read: ‘The Burn the Floor (BTF) 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.’

Fans who have followed Windsor since his Strictly days took to his recent social media post with their tributes.

His heartbreaking last ever Instagram post, shared three weeks ago, showed Windsor taking a selfie wearing a black vest, with a caption which read: ‘Hiding in the shadows.’

‘No longer in the shadows but in the light,’ commented charlotte.bruce.357, while user trahoney said: ‘So shocked and saddened to hear the news. Have followed him for years since Strictly, an amazing talent. RIP.’

‘In total shock,’ agreed 4evermiska, while xxmsmillsxx said: ‘Such sad news 😢 Sending love to Robins family, friends & strictly colleagues.’

User jazzmprince said: ‘A beautiful man, a beautiful dancer & my fav SCD Pro. Sleep easy.’

Windsor was enjoying a trip to Cape Town three weeks ago, as he was pictured soaking up the South African sun in what looked like the trip of a lifetime.

Former Strictly co-star James Jordan also paid tribute, remembering him as ‘caring and fun,’ adding: ‘You will be missed old friend.’

Meanwhile an emotional Susanna Reid described Windsor as ‘larger than life’ on Good Morning Britain, and loved her time dancing with him.

‘I just adored him, he was the most incredible personality. As soon as I danced with him there was something really special about it,’ she said.

A statement from Sisco Entertainment, which represented Windsor in various areas of theatre and corporate entertainment, said: ‘It is with heavy hearts that we announce the tragic passing of our beloved friend, Robin Windsor.

His extraordinary ability to express emotion through movement captivated audiences, leaving them spellbound with every step.

‘Beyond his impeccable dancing, 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. Though Come What May will continue without you, your legacy will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to share in your light.”
