I’ve just seen this too. Such a good man. Was lucky enough to meet him, he was lovely to my mum.

That's young so sad.

Oh, that is sad. He seemed like a really lovely man.

Yes, I've just seen. That is sad. I know a few people who went to events he was at/running and he was apparently always very nice and happy to chat.

Oh how sad. I loved his partnerships with Lisa Riley and Deborah Meaden. And so young.

Very sad news

that is so sad.

Very sad. Such a young age.

Such sad news. He was a wonderful dancer.

Oh dear so sorry to read about Robin, and so young too.

Very sad news.

So sad about lovely Robin 😢

Such sad news. I liked his time in the show and he was reputed to be a thoroughly nice guy.

Deborah wrote a lovely tribute on Twitter. I’d heard that they’d stayed in touch after her stint. She genuinely enjoyed partnering him I think.

Kristina seems frustrated about the way he (dancers generally?) was treated. It was quite a stinging statement.

@PastorCarrBonarra , yes Robin visited Deborah's mother in SA just a few weeks ago. (I think he was visiting via a cruise ship he was working on). It's very sad, I saw Robin dance with Burn the Floor in London in July 22 and I sat very near Len Goodman in the audience.

Sorry, have realised should probably have put clips on separate tribute thread or the video thread.

I would imagine it's the grief talking pastor I didn't see her statement as stinging, more that she was hurting/justifiably angry that
a) dancers are disposable and it's a short career
b) the media were swamping her for a statement
RIP Bobby

This hasn't been confirmed, has it?
