That is very sad he certainly was one of the best dancers and reported to be a very nice, helpful man. Such a young age. RIP xx

I haven’t read anything of the cause.

I was really sad when I heard about it. All the comments focus on how kind and gentle he was, and that is certainly the impression I had. Poor man

I think he probably took his own life as it seems he was quite depressed. So very sad.

Visgir1 Tue 20-Feb-24 16:47:16

On Twitter his Dancing partner in her statement said he took his own was out.

Oh goodness such sad news RIP Robin you were one of my favourites ❤️

To hear that makes it all the more heartbreaking. He was just mentioned on our local news as he helped with dance classes at a school. They showed a clip and the children looked like they were really enjoying themselves. So sad.

He apparently went missing for 3 days before he was found. So sad

BigBertha1 Thu 22-Feb-24 13:15:52

Apparently he had been depressed for some time. After a back operation he was not asked back to Strictly the following year and money problems made the depression worse. Poor man awful to feel there was only one option left. RIP flowers

Robin seemed to be very popular with friends on Strictly as well as the contestants. Very sad.
