Strictly Come Dancing star Lisa Riley 'is a gay man in a woman's body' Nov 25th 2012, 19:55 Strictly Come Dancing star Lisa Riley has a gay man trapped inside her, says her dance partner Robin Windsor. Lisa Riley is a gay man trapped in a woman's body, according to her Strictly buddy (Picture: BBC) The buff performer said he was initially worried after being partnered with the jolly ex-Emmerdale star, but he says they've turned out to be two peas in the same pod. 'I have to admit... when I first got partnered with Lisa I was a bit frightened. I didn't know that I would be able to get her to dance the way that she can. 'Everyone expected her to be a joke – like the next Ann Widdecombe or John Sergeant,' he said. 'But once we got into rehearsal and did our cha-cha during week one it brought the house down.' Taking the competition by storm, the 32-year-old says: 'I think there is a gay man inside of Lisa just screaming to get out. She's camp, she's fun, she loves her musical theatre. 'We're both very similar and we just feed and bounce off each other all day at rehearsal.' While he admits he's had fun dancing with the 36-year-old actress, the ballroom star feels the day two men are partnered on the show is a long way off  – but for practical reasons only. He told GT magazine: 'I doubt we'll ever see a same sex couple dancing on Strictly. It's difficult with the ballroom dances to put two guys together. 'The Latin dances you can make into a challenge between two guys but you struggle with the ballroom dances.' Read the full interview in GT magazine, out on Wednesday.
