Professional dancer Robin Windsor has opened up about his Strictly Come Dancing exit, revealing it wasn't his choice to leave the BBC One show back in 2014. Robin, 44, departed Strictly in 2014, having been replaced in that year's series by Trent Whiddon after suffering a back injury which led to him needing an operation. He participated in one professional sequence in the 2014 series and went on to compete in the 2015 Strictly Christmas Special alongside Alison Hammond.
Robin has now admitted that TV bosses "didn't want to" ask him to return to Strictly following his back operation and that his exit left him heartbroken. “Leaving Strictly wasn’t my choice. I had a horrible back operation and they decided that they didn’t want to ask me back the next year.
It was probably for health and safety reasons, in case something happened, but I was physically fit," Robin revealed in a new interview with Betway. He went on to speak about Trent replacing him on the 12th series, admitting he struggled to watch the show but credits his then-boyfriend Marcus Collins, who he split from in 2016, for helping him to not be "bitter". Robin continued: "One of my best friends Trent Whiddon, who replaced me to dance with Pixie Lott, I wanted to watch and support him, but it broke my heart.
I was with Marcus Collins from the X Factor, who was my partner at the time, and said to him, ‘I’m really struggling to watch the show.’" He added: "He told me the best thing to do was to really get behind and support everybody. He said it was hard for him to watch the success of Little Mix, who beat him on X Factor. He was spot on! From that day forward I made sure I supported everybody on the show.
