    Robbie believes passionately in charity. In addition to hosting the GeeStor Annual Fun Day Summer Scorch, mentoring for the Rudolph Walker InterSchool Drama Awards and hosting the annual sell-out show in aid of Kwahu Tafo in Ghana at the Hackney Empire, Robbie also spends every Christmas morning serving in a soup kitchen, something he says reminds him of how lucky he is. He recently took part in GeeStor’s epic fundraising journey Silimanjaro, where Eddie & Lisa Nestor, Dave McQueen and Sarah Moore climbed Kilimanjaro in aid of 4 charities. Robbie was unable to make the climb, which in the documentary The Road to Silimanjaro he attributed to eating too much McDonald's food. He did, however, make a massive contribution in helping to raise £40,000 for the four charities.

    Robbie is a dedicated football enthusiast, having performed in films like Mike Bassett: England Manager, Mean Machine and Channel 4’s The Manageress. He recently starred in Cuffs alongside Ashley Walters on the BBC and The Frankenstein Chronicles with Sean Bean on ITV Encore.

    He is a qualified football coach and regularly coaches for Arsenal around the world.
