His last Instagram post, with a follower of 46,000, was about his selfie in a dark ambiance, captioned “Hiding in the shadows.” His struggles with mental health started with losing his job at Strictly Come Dancing and separation from his fiance, the events that occurred all at the same time.

The dancer spent his final days performing on a Fred Olsen Cruise, and he continued sharing cheerful pictures, hinting at the trauma he was going through, and thanked his friends and family for their support in several of his postings. Wishes and prayers poured in as soon as Robin’s death was announced.
