A decade after her older sister Bindi won the Dancing with the starsRobert Irwrin won the same title.
The son of the late conservationist Steve Irwin was the favorite to win thanks to his outstanding performances over the 11 weeks of the popular US dance competition.
Her performances included a tribute to her late father and a surprise appearance from her sister Bindi.
In Tuesday night’s finale, Irwin and dance partner Witney Carson also performed songs by Avicii and Sydney-born Sam Sparro.
They then won the “instant dance challenge”, where Irwin and Carson learned the style and song minutes before going on stage.
Irwin, who made the final despite suffering a rib injury, beat other finalists including influencer Alix Earle and Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles.
According to the BBC, this happened despite three contestants – not including Irwin – achieving a perfect score of 30 for their first dances. However, Irwin had a perfect score soon after.
Her exact scores were: Judges’ Choice Round (Quickstep): 29/30, Instant Dance Challenge (Cha Cha): 30/30, Freestyle Round: 30/30.
In 2018, the family of late Australian conservationist and “crocodile hunter” Steve Irwin followed in his footsteps with a television show dedicated to their wildlife conservation work.
“Crikey! It’s the Irwins” followed Irwin’s wife, Terri, and their two children, Bindi and Robert, caring for the animals at their Australian zoo in Queensland and going on various expeditions.
