‘I miss you so much’ Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley flooded with support after touching tribute to Strictly pal Robin Windsor
Lisa Riley has been comforted by fans after sharing a touching tribute to Strictly Come Dancing star Robin Windsor.
Lisa Riley has moved fans with her sweet tribute to Robin Windsor, who died in February this year.
The pair were coupled together for Strictly Come Dancing in 2012, and remained close up until Robin passed away, aged 44, in February.
It was later reported how he was found dead in a London hotel after a troubling incident over the New Year.
Sharing a post on Instagram, Lisa told fans: “For NOW and for ALWAYS……..our “FOREVER TREE”. Love you Robin, miss you so much.”
Accompanying the post she shared pictures of a tree adorned with ribbons and confetti on the ground.
Sharing the post to her Instagram Stories, she added another picture of her and Robin as she told followers: “We promised and we WILL, keep you alive here on earth, talking about you, constantly.
“In heaven but always inside my heart forever.”
This isn’t the first time Lisa has paid tribute to Robin, in June she shared another sweet message to the star.
Speaking at 2024 British LGBT Awards, she said: “Mental health in the gay community is really bad, and if I can help in any way… then I’ve done my bit.
“I wish he [Robin] was here, he should be on my arm covered in sparkles and having a ball, but the energy he had is imprinted on my heart.”
She added: “He would be shining down and laughing at us.
“His vibrancy, energy and zest for life was out there for everyone to see.”
Robin, whom she described as “divine”, was bestowed a Posthumous Award on the night for his services in entertainment and in supporting mental health.
It came after the ballroom and Latin Dancer’s work with mental health charity Sane.
The news of Robin’s death in February was confirmed by Sisco Entertainment, which represented him in various areas of theatre and corporate entertainment.
A statement released at the time said: “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the tragic passing of our beloved friend, Robin Windsor.
“Robin’s presence in Come What May was more than just a performance; it was an embodiment of passion, grace, and sheer talent.
“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.
