An inquest into the death of Strictly Come Dancing pro Robin Windsor took place this week, revealing the contents of two suicide notes that he left before taking his own life.
Robin, who was a professional dancer on the BBC dance show from 2010 till 2013, took his own life on February 19, 2024. He was 44 years old.
A post-mortem ruled that he most likely overdosed on drugs and alcohol.
