After entering the reality TV world in 2024 as host of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Robert Irwin has announced that he will be competing on the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars. The 21-year-old Wildlife Warrior will be hitting the dance floor on the upcoming 34th season of the American version of the competition series.
Robert is following in the footsteps of his sister Bindi Irwin, who won season 21 of the US reality show in 2015 at age 17. He announced his participation at the Hulu Get Real event in Los Angeles on Tuesday local time, taking to the stage without a shirt while holding a snake.
The news comes shortly after Robert broke the internet with his shirtless photoshoot for Aussie underwear brand Bonds.
Robert revealed to Yahoo Lifestyle in June last year that he would love to compete on Dancing With The Stars in the near future, saying: “I can wrangle crocs, but can I Paso Doble? It’d be really fun.”
He added that if he ever joined the show, he’d hope to be paired with professional dancer and TikTok star Rylee Arnold, who competed with fellow Aussie Harry Jowsey in 2023.
“I’d want to do Dancing With The Stars with Rylee because she’s awesome. That’s been the big discussion,” he remarked. “Let’s manifest doing Dancing With The Stars!”

‘Let’s all manifest this together’
This comes shortly after Rylee admitted in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that Robert would be her dream celebrity partner on Dancing with the Stars.
“Robert Irwin, imagine,” she gushed. “‘Cos his sister Bindi was on the show and I remember watching his sister on the show when I was eight years old, and I was like ‘Robert’s like my age.’ I was like, ‘Please he has to be on the show at least one day for me’.
“Guys, let’s all manifest this together,” she giggled.
How can I watch Dancing With The Stars US?
The 34th season of Dancing With The Stars is expected to premiere in September this year. While it airs on ABC and Disney+ in the US, it’s yet to be revealed how Australians will be able to tune in.
Meanwhile, the Australian version of the reality show is returning for its 23rd season later this year, hosted by Sonia Kruger and Dr Chris Brown.
