Strictly Come Dancing professional Kristina Rihanoff has paid a heartfelt tribute to Robin Windsor, who passed away last month and was found in a London hotel after enjoying a once in a lifetime cruise sailing around Africa with professional dancer Gordana Grandosek.

Robin and Kristina were long-term dance partners, with the latter sharing a number of pictures to Instagram of them together as she wrote: "I wish I can hold you in my arms and dance with you one more dance … love you and miss you, always and forever Robin, thank you for all the beautiful memories …".

One of the pictures was a sign from Robin's funeral, which took place on March 24 and was said to be a 'colourful' occasion.

A number of other celebrities such as Susanna Reid and Lisa Riley were in attendance. Susanna also took to her own social media to pay tribute, sharing that she will 'always remember' Robin's 'sparkle', while Strictly star Karen Hauer shared a picture to her page as she wrote: "Robin, Rest in Peace you beautiful soul." Following Robin's passing, Kristina said she was 'devastated' as she mourned the loss and reflected on their close relationship. "There is no words to express the pain and devastation," she began. "Robin wasn’t just my dance partner, he was a friend and together we shared endless experiences from our careers' highlights to hitting rock bottom of rejection.
