Windsor, who was born in Ipswich, moved to London when he was 15 to pursue a career in dancing
Tributes are rolling in for the star, who joined the BBC competition in 2010, and participated in four series up until 2013. He was ultimately forced to step down after being left paralysed for four days due to a slipped disc.
However, he eventually made a special return for what would become the show’s first-ever same-sex dance, which he performed alongside Aljaz Skorjanec in 2014.
Most recently, Windsor appeared on stage for the Moulin Rouge tribute show Come What May.
As well as dancing, Windsor was known for his charity work, raising awareness for male cancer and LGBTQ+ equality. He also took part in the Greater Manchester Police’s campaign against domestic violence and, in 2013, hosted an auction raising money for HIV charities.
Windsor was previously in relationships with Davide Cini and Marcus Collins, the latter of whom featured on ITV reality competition The X Factor in 2011, mentored by Gary Barlow. The couple appeared on the cover of Gay Times together in 2014.
Windsor’s cause of death has not been disclosed.
