Emmerdale star Lisa Riley has shared her fresh heartbreak as she revealed she's suffered another tragic loss. The actress was devastated last month when news broke that her Strictly Come Dancing partner Robin Windsor had died aged 44.
Robin starred on Strictly from 2010 but had to leave four years later in 2014 due to an injury. The closest he got to winning was coming in fifth place with Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley in 2012, with the popular pairing finishing in 5th place.
Other partners included actress Anita Dobson and Dragons' Den's Deborah Meaden. He also took part in various Christmas specials with the likes of ITV stars Susanna Reid and Alison Hammond. The star most recently appeared in stage show Come What May, a tribute to Moulin Rouge.
