#17 Robin Windsor on why he didn't come out to his mum until he was 35

38 minutes

Robin was a dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, one of the biggest shows in the UK for the best part of a decade. Dancing since the age of three he became England’s number one ballroom dancer as a teenager. He then spent ten years touring the globe as part of ‘Burn the Floor’, one of the leading touring dance shows ever.

This interview was recorded remotely of course (last September, I’m only getting around to editing them now- sorry!!!) and we chatted about;

why he felt like ‘the real-life Billy Elliot’ growing up,

how all his school-friends were really supportive of his dancing,

having Keanu Reeves posters on his wall as a teenager,

the moment he came out to his friends on a dance trip abroad,

why he didn’t come out to his mother until he was 35

and lots of other things.
