Strictly's Graziano Di Prima, Nancy Xu, and Gorka Márquez revealed that they will pay tribute to the late Robin Windsor during their upcoming tour. Robin was a member of Strictly's professional lineup from 2009 until 2013, and was paired with stars including Patsy Kensit and Lisa Riley. The dancer was found dead in a hotel in London at the age of 44 in February, though his cause of death is yet to be revealed.

Robin Windsor, a famous ballroom dancer, will say their final goodbyes on Tuesday - and mourners will be asked to bring along a rainbow umbrella. The funeral, which will take place in Ipswich, will be a 'colourful celebration of his life' and will include 'emotional and beautiful dance performances.' Susanna Reid, Lisa Riley, and Kristina Rhianoff, as well as Gordana Grandosek, the country's final professional dancer, are all set to attend.

On Monday, Lisa, 47, who plays Mandy Dingle in the popular ITV soap, took to Instagram to announce that Aunty Joyce had died on Monday. In her essay, the actress' mother died of breast cancer in 2012, and she referred to Joyce as her'second mother.' In the same year, Lisa appeared on BBCs Strictly Come Dancing alongside late professional dancer Robin - who was discovered dead in a London hotel room in February. In her post, Lisa said, 'Just when I thought my heart couldn't hurt anymore.' 'I have had more troubling news since losing Robin.' My beautiful Aunty Joyce, my 2nd mother, was sadly gone last night, where they will now giggle in heaven together.'

Even though her mother died of the disease, Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley has outlined the reasons why she would not have a cancer screening. On last Wednesday's episode of the show, Lisa, 47, plays Mandy Dingle in the famous ITV soap, and saw her on-screen family being warned that they could have a cancer-causing gene, meaning they should be tested as soon as possible. Lisa, who lives on Emmerdale, said she would delay out of a cancer screening after her mother, Cath, died of breast cancer at the age of 58 in 2012.

Following Robin Windsor's tragic death aged 44, the family expressed gratitude to mourners. The professional Latin and Ballroom dancer, who delighted millions on his debut on BBC shows between 2010 and 2015, was dead last week before his body was discovered in a London hotel on Monday. While Robin's death has yet to be confirmed, close friend and former Strictly co-star Kristina Rihanoff speculated that he might have committed suicide. Model Patsy Kensit, actress Anita Dobson and Lisa Riley, and Dragons Den actor Deborah Meaden have all expressed their sorrow for Windsor, who worked with actress Debbie Meaden on Strictly Come Dancing. In addition, he performed with Great Britain Bake Off host Alison Hammond in the 2015 Christmas special and with Susanna Reid in 2011's Children In Need Special.

It has been confirmed that Strictly Come Dancing did not pay for an operation on Robin Windsor's back before axing him from the show. On Monday, the dancer was discovered dead in a London hotel at the age of 44, but his cause of death is yet to be announced. Robin was a member of Strictly Come Dancing from 2009 to 2013, and was partnered with actors including Patsy Kensit and Lisa Riley.

When Robin Windsor called a friend in South Africa a little over two weeks ago, she made a tearful call. The former Strictly Come Dancing actor confessed, "I don't want to come home." 'I want to stay for a few days.' Robin's companion, who has restricted herself to the Mail, noticed that the dancer, who had lived 8,000 miles from his home in London, was deeply distraught.

After he partnered Anita Dobson, Patsy Kensit, Lisa Riley, and Deborah Meaden on the show, Robin Windsor, who has died at the age of 44, said he had never been happier' in his life. Judge Craig Revel Horwood supported Suffolk's decision that same-sex couples be allowed to compete on the program. However, Strictly Boss decided to fire him after four years in 2014 after he sustained a back injury that the much-loved dancer openly admitted to 'broke my heart.' Last year, he said, "This was certainly the worst thing that could have happened to me because it took away what I loved the most." I loved being on Strictly Come Dancing more than anyone else who was there.' The Latin dance specialist never recovered from being forced off the primetime program and into deep depression, blaming the BBC for the decision and insisting: "It wasn't my decision to leave." His relationship to partner Davide Cini was also broken off around the same time, resulting in a double blow. Marcus Collins, the year he left Strictly, began on-off relationship with him, but they decided not to marry at a Downton Abbey-themed wedding in 2015.

Robin's death was confirmed on Tuesday morning. The cause of death of the 44-year-old dancer has not been confirmed. Deborah Meaden, the beloved professional Latin and Ballroom dancer on the BBC show from 2010 to 2015, collaborated with model Patsit, EastEnders legend Anita Dobson, Loose Woman, and Dragon's Den artist Deborah Meaden.

Following actor Steve Halliwell's death at the age of 77, Emmerdale's Lisa Riley and Danny Miller have paid their respects to him. ITV announced on Friday that the soap star, who is best known for playing Zak Dingle, peacefully died in a hospice surrounded by his family. Since joining the cast in 1994, Steve was the second longest serving cast member in Emmerdale. He was the head of the Dingle household and was active in several dramatic plotlines with his on-off wife Lisa Dingle (Jane Cox).

Lisa Riley, an Emmerdale favourite, has consistently refused to appear on ITV's "I'm a Celebrity"... Get Me Out of Here! Much to the show's designers' chagrin, they've been chastised. Mandy Dingle, the actress, who first appeared in the long-running soap in 1995, has been approached each year, but has never denied it. In a chat with The Daily Star, she said she is becoming more aware of her age, which has prompted her to reconsider the offer in a different way.

Doctors have been barred by the BBC for 23 years as a result of falling sales and rising costs, with the final episode set to air next year. Countless characters have visited the Riverside Health Center over the years, with several famous faces making surprise appearances. After a flurry of attempts to bring the show to a primetime slot that was unsuccessful to draw in viewers, the cast and crew of the beloved soap were apparently called into a meeting with channel bosses on Wednesday where they learned the sad news.
