Aussie conservationist and our favourite little brother, Robert Irwin, can officially add ‘Dancing King’ to his long list of accolades – he’s just won the latest season of America’s Dancing With The Stars!
The 21-year-old took the top spot with his dance partner Witney Carson after delivering some epic moves, in the finale. He was up against influencer Alix Earle, social media personality Dylan Efron, Olympian Jordan Chiles and actor Elaine Hendrix.
But it was Robert who received an almost perfect score across his three dances, plus the audience votes.
“I wish he could see it, I really wish he could be here,” Robert said of his dad, the late Steve Irwin, after winning the Mirrorball trophy.

Speaking of Mirrorballs…
The Irwins now have TWO of them. Ten years ago, Robert’s big sister Bindi Irwin won her Dancing With The Stars final too.
“TWO MIRRORBALLS NOW CALL AUSTRALIA ZOO HOME!!!!” Bindi posted. “Congratulations and all the love in the world to @robertirwinphotography and @witneycarson. What. A. Night.”
Mum Terri Irwin also shared her joy – “Congratulations Robert! Your passion, dedication, hard work, and kind heart got you to this point. A night you will remember forever. Thank you to everyone who supported Robert through this journey, and made us realise that even a zookeeper can learn to dance.”
She added, “Witney, you are now part of our family. God bless. I am so very proud of you, Robert. I know your dad is too. Wow!”
