Robert Irwin’s “DWTS” Win Made Him Very Proud
Robert Irwin wrote a lengthy Instagram post thanking DWTS for the life-changing opportunity.
“10 years ago my sister won the mirrorball, and 11 years ago Witney won – this feels like the most special, full circle moment. And that brings me to my family, they moved all the way out from Australia for 3 months to support me and be there for me every step of the way. Bindi, you inspired me to embark on this adventure, and I have you to thank for setting me on the course to take this remarkable journey,” Robert wrote.
Robert Irwin added a thank you to his American DWTS family for cheering him on to the big win.
“Lastly, and importantly, I want to thank YOU. The love I felt from everyone around America and the world was everything to me, it kept us going week after week. Thank you for letting us tell stories through our dances and allowing us to bring you on this journey, I hope it could help you find inspiration and a sense of positivity and passion,” he wrote.
“It certainly was a healing experience for me. Every week I represented my home at Australia Zoo, our charity – Wildlife Warriors, and a legacy that is so important to me. I lift this mirrorball trophy with a sense of gratitude that my message and everything I stand for was recognised in that ballroom. The lessons I learned and friendships that I have formed will be part of me forever,” Robert added.
We will miss Robert Irwin on DWTS and 100% agree he and Witney deserved the big win.
