Get your dancing shoes ready—Strictly Come Dancing is back! This season features some dazzling personalities including our very own former England rugby captain Chris Robshaw. Known for his stellar rugby career, he’s now gearing up to take on the dance floor.
But Chris’s life off the stage is equally riveting. Married to celebrated classical singer Camilla Kerslake, the pair have shared their journey of love since their beautiful humanist wedding in Provence back in 2018. As parents to two adorable boys, Wilder and Hunter, the Robshaw-Kerslake family radiates love and joy both at home and through their shared passion for philanthropy. Together, they’ve founded the Kerslake Robshaw Foundation, championing arts and sports access for kids.
With the glitter of Strictly on the horizon, Chris and Camilla have had to face more than just bright lights recently. The couple have been dealing with the stressful ordeal of harassment from a stalker. This campaign of distress began after a brief encounter at a work event and escalated to terrifying levels, even as the family celebrated the birth of their second son. Authorities are on the case, and Chris has expressed gratitude for the laughter Strictly has brought back into their lives.
Chris has also shown his resilient spirit, owning up to past mistakes. Remember when the rugby player and his Barbarians teammates breached Covid protocols in 2020? Robshaw handled it with sincere public apologies, admitting it was a mistake and expressing deep remorse for the disruption caused.
As Strictly kicks off, all eyes will be on Chris Robshaw not just for his dance moves, but for his strength and commitment to family, community, and personal growth. Tune in and cheer him on—here’s hoping the glitterball trophy finds a new home with the Robshaws! 🕺💃✨
