BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Graziano Di Prima has shared how his friend Robin Windsor asked him for help, due to the physical pain that he was in before he passed away. Robin's death was announced last week and many people paid tribute to the late dancer, including his fellow Strictly pros, ex partners and fans worldwide.
The well-liked star was found dead in a London hotel, after he had told a friend about a "troubling incident" that happened over New Year. Now, Graziano has spoken about his friend, calling him "so strong", and talked about how far Robin would go to perform on stage - he remembered a time when Robin was in terrible pain and was 'shaking' because of it.
"He was always the one who would push himself to the limit on a tour," Graziano said. "One day he came and said to me, 'Please help me, I've got so much pain in my shoulder', and he was shaking from the pain. We did rehearsals for two weeks nonstop.
I could see the pain, but he would never stop." Robin was a key member of Burn The Floor, and Graziano joined him for three happy years touring with the popular West End show. Graziano told The Express how much he looked up to Robin for his strength and love for dance, "He showed people that if you really love dancing, you can do it, no matter how much pain you're in. He was so strong." Robin was also a dancer on Strictly Come Dancing for four seasons but had to leave because of a bad back injury that caused a slipped disc.
