The most recent season of Dancing with the Stars kept fans on the edge of their seats. We positively loved watching the contestants, particularly Robert Irwin and Witney Carson. Not only did they capture America’s hearts, but they also took home the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. To make the win even sweeter, Robert won the competition nearly 10 years to the day after his sister, Bindi Irwin, was crowned DWTS champ. We love Robert Irwin, and the whole family here in the States, but it looks like he’s officially headed back to work in Australia. @robertirwin See you at Australia Zoo. Can’t wait to be back ♬ Back In Black – AC/DC Robert Irwin Shared His Plans to Head Back to Australia on Social Media As much as Robert Irwin loved his time in the United States, a recent TikTok shows just how excited he is to return to Australia. He shared on TikTok that beginning January 8, he’ll be back at the Australia Zoo just in time for the school holiday. “It’s gonna be my first time feeding a crocodile in about… five months,” Robert Irwin joked. “What could possibly go wrong?” Robert set the video to AC/DC’s Back in Black just to give it a bit more pizazz. And of course, he ended with that same grin that had all the ladies swooning. Learning that Robert Irwin would be back in Australia made lots of people happy. “Omg!!! I’m literally heading to Australia now!!!! Woohoo!!!!” Someone wrote. “YAYYYYYYY- he’s finally coming home,” another person cheered. “That means..
