Robert Irwin broke down in tears during a moving performance on Dancing With The Stars US.
The celebrity conservationist, 21, left viewers stunned during a touching Foxtrot with Witney Carson to Leona Lewis’ ballad Footprints in the Sand.
The heartfelt performance not only paid tribute to Robert’s late father Steve, as a projection of him appeared in the foreground, but also to his sister Bindi, 27, who performed the same song during her own DWTS stint in 2015.
As their dance came to an end, Bindi made a surprise appearance, and joined him – which saw Robert moved to tears.
Clips of a very young Robert with his father were projected onto the ballroom floor, leaving the Australian star overcome with emotion.
He collapsed to the floor and was embraced by Witney and Bindi as the crowd erupted in applause, earning him perfect scores across the board.

Fans were deeply touched by the performance and quickly took to social media to show their appreciation.
‘When Bindi came out I absolutely sobbbbbbbed,’ one person gushed.
‘I will never emotionally recover from this,’ another added.
‘Wasn’t expecting to be moved to the point of actual tears but that ending did it for me,’ wrote one more.
Robert’s powerful performances this year have made him a fan favourite for winning the 2025 season, ten years after Bindi took home the title on the show.
It comes after DWTS US viewers were convinced they’ve figured out which Irwin family member will join next, following Bindi and Robert Irwin’s incredible stints.
The celebrity conservationist siblings have already wowed audiences with their moves, and now fans believe a new social media clip reveals who’s next.
Earlier this week, Robert teased a snippet of his rehearsals on Instagram, which showed his little niece Grace, four, practising a dance.

‘I love when Grace stops by rehearsals and we can teach her some new dance moves,’ Robert wrote.
‘Makes me think about when I was a little kid watching my sister in rehearsals on her season of DWTS. A full circle moment.’
The footage wowed Robert’s followers, who flocked to the comments to ask when young Grace might appear on the show.

Teddi Mellencamp is sharing updates on her health journey today. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
alum had previously revealed that “there is no detectable cancer” in her system on her podcast in early October, and is now revealing more about how she’s feeling.How to Watch
Teddi took to her Instagram Story last weekend, where she held a Q&A session. It was here that she shared her own current struggles with immunotherapy, admitting that her energy levels go up and down all the time. (Earlier this year, Teddi revealed that she will undergo immunotherapy treatments for the next two years and has taken breaks in the past as she deals with the side effects.) “Some days are definitely better than others,” she wrote. “And you don’t see all the times I’m laying in bed unable to do much. Don’t be afraid to let people know how you’re feeling and don’t feel guilty if you need to rest.”
Her energy levels have also impacted her work schedule with her podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, which she co-hosts with The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, Tamra Judge. “I am taking it week by week right now with how I am feeling,” she wrote. “Y’all know I love doing it, but I have to listen to my body.”
Teddi continued with this streak of honesty when she took to her Instagram Story on Nov. 11, where she filmed herself working out on her exercise bike. “I have been feeling terrible,” she admitted. “New goal is 20 mins a day.”

Teddi continued during the question and answer session, sharing advice to a spouse of someone with brain cancer. “I would say listen, especially on the worst days,” she stated. “We often feel like we don’t want to burden people but to have an outlet is so beneficial for our mental health,” she noted.
As previously stated, Teddi shared some major news about her battle with Stage 4 cancer in early October. Teddi took to her podcast on Oct. 3, where she opened up about her doctor’s findings. “At this point, there is no detectable cancer,” she stated.
Teddi has also been surrounded by her loved ones, including her father, John Mellencamp, and her kids, during this time. She took to Instagram on Oct. 24, where she posted a photo of her dad surrounded by her daughters, Slate and Dove Arroyave, and opened up about John’s support.
“It’s been 10 months since my brain surgery and I am so grateful for [John Mellencamp] for continuously being there for me and my family the entire time,” she wrote in the caption of the post. “Although apparently now that I’m no evidence of disease I can take photos without myself in it so I guess we’re all healing. Love you so much, Cougs. Thanks for everything.”
