Robert Irwin is an undeniable fan favorite on “Dancing with the Stars” Season 34, and he did not disappoint when he took to the ballroom stage on Wicked Night in Week 6.

Robert Irwin Shares His Gratitude

Irwin and his professional partner Witney Carson performed a Jazz to “Dancing Through Life” by Jonathan Bailey featuring Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, and Cynthia Erivo. Irwin looked great as he stepped out in a Fiyero-inspired look, and his dancing, combined with Carson’s choreography, won over judges as they scored an impressive 36 out of 40. For many fans, this score was not high enough, and they felt that the judges should have scored them higher.

Despite not earning any 10s on the night, Irwin was the winner in the eyes of his fans, and he is incredibly grateful to be around for another week. He shared a video of his performance on Instagram on October 21 and wrote a heartfelt message in the caption.

“Dancing through life! Tonight was unbelievable. I’m so grateful that I got to bring to life my favourite character from one of my favourite films, in the ballroom tonight,” he wrote. “@witneycarson, THANK YOU for making this week fun, challenging, hilarious, exciting, and an absolute JOY… as always. I’m gonna miss practising this routine every day. I want to thank ALL of you for your support and having us back for another week, this experience is utterly unforgettable and life changing. See you next week! Love ya.”
