Robert Irwin wins *Dancing with the Stars* with emotional tribute to Steve Irwin
Robert Irwin has taken home the Mirrorball Trophy on Dancing with the Stars. The wildlife conservationist and his professional partner, Witney Carson, claimed victory in the show’s latest season. Fans and judges alike celebrated his performances, which paid tribute to his late father, Steve Irwin.
Irwin’s win comes after a fierce competition that saw him push through physical challenges. During the finale, he delivered a high-energy quickstep to Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet, even incorporating a backflip. This was despite battling intercostal rib pain, which made training and performing difficult.
Robert Irwin now joins his sister as a Dancing with the Stars winner. His victory marks another milestone for the Irwin family, known for their conservation work and public presence. The show’s judges and viewers recognised both his talent and the emotional depth he brought to each performance.
