Chris Robshaw’s Wife Absent from Strictly Audience After Conflict
Chris Robshaw, the former England rugby captain, is determined to secure his position in this season of Strictly Come Dancing. After finishing in the bottom two last week, he returns to the dancefloor with high hopes.
Chris Robshaw’s Dance Journey
Initially, Robshaw faced challenges during his debut on the BBC show, ranking 14th out of 15 couples. His performance improved slightly, reaching 13th place in the following week. With a total score of 30 from the first two weeks, he found himself in a dance-off, but the judges chose to save him over competitor Tom Skinner.
Support from Camilla Kerslake
While Robshaw prepares for his “Movie Week” routine, his wife, Camilla Kerslake, will be absent from the audience. Kerslake, a renowned classical music performer, has a scheduling conflict due to her appearance at the Super League Grand Final in Manchester, occurring nearly 200 miles away from Elstree Studios.
- Event Date: Saturday evening
- Grand Final Location: Old Trafford, Manchester
- Kickoff Time: 6 PM, coinciding with Strictly’s live show
Kerslake, who has two sons with Robshaw since their marriage in 2018, is experienced in performing at major sporting events. She previously sang the national anthem at the FA Cup final and NFL matches. This Saturday, she will perform “Jerusalem” before the Grand Final.
Robshaw’s Determination and Fan Support
Despite the ups and downs, Robshaw has conveyed his love for the dance competition, expressing how it revives his athletic spirit. In a heartfelt Instagram message, he emphasized his commitment to improving his dance skills and making his partner, Nadiya Bychkova, proud.
Robshaw shared his journey, stating, “This show has made me feel like an athlete again… I hope you can see some potential in me.” His determination is evident as he strives to keep his place in the competition, motivated by the support of his fans and family.
Kerslake’s Response to Competition Criticism
Kerslake has not only supported her husband offstage but also voiced her thoughts on the competition. She tweeted about the varying levels of dance experience among the contestants, emphasizing the perceived unfairness in skills distribution.
As Chris Robshaw faces another night on Strictly Come Dancing, the absence of his wife will be felt. However, both he and Kerslake continue to demonstrate their unwavering support for one another, both on and off the stage. Fans eagerly anticipate his next performance and hope for his continued success in the competition.
