The Dragons’ Den star Meaden was partnered with the Strictly dancer Robin Windsor on the 2013 series of the BBC show.

Deborah Meaden, a Dragons’ Den star, has expressed deep sadness over the passing of her former Strictly Come Dancing partner, Robin Windsor, who died at the age of 44 earlier this week. Meaden and Windsor had partnered in the 2013 series of the BBC One dance competition.

Taking to Instagram and other platforms, Meaden shared a heartfelt tribute, describing Windsor’s death as “heartbreaking.” She conveyed her thoughts to Windsor’s family, friends, and loved ones, acknowledging the profound grief they must be experiencing.

Reflecting on Windsor’s character, Meaden described him as a “remarkable individual.” She highlighted his kindness, generosity, and dedication to numerous charitable causes, noting his penchant for spreading joy and his signature sparkle, often adorned with crystals.

Meaden fondly remembered Windsor as not only talented and clever but also as a source of fun and energy. She recalled his enthusiasm for quizzes and his ability to light up any room with his vibrant personality, emphasizing that he was truly in his element when surrounded by the glimmer of crystals.

Windsor and Meaden were the fourth couple eliminated in the 2013 series of Strictly, and they also participated in the show’s live UK tour the following year.

Reflecting on their time together, Meaden shared, “He taught my mother to dance for her 80th birthday party, and they gracefully danced at her celebration… he had a knack for uplifting people.”

Meaden also acknowledged Windsor’s complexity and openness about life’s challenges beyond the spotlight. She expressed gratitude for knowing him and lamented his passing.

During his stint on Strictly Come Dancing, Windsor partnered with Patsy Kensit and Anita Dobson, both exiting in the eighth week, and Lisa Riley, who reached the semi-final.

The year after his partnership with Meaden, Windsor withdrew from the series due to a back injury. Despite not being paired with a celebrity, he returned for the 2014 series, participating in group dances with fellow professionals.

Windsor continued to feature in the Strictly Christmas specials until 2015 when he competed alongside Alison Hammond.

Following his passing, numerous Strictly stars, past and present, paid tribute to Windsor, including hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, judges Darcey Bussell, Craig Revel Horwood, and Shirley Ballas, as well as professional dancers Oti Mabuse and Dianne Buswell.

The dancing community and fans around the world are in mourning as we bid farewell to a talented and charismatic personality. The impact Robin had on the dance world is immeasurable. His energy, passion, and skill made him a beloved figure on stage and screen.
