Robert Irwin could not contain his tears after his \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d routine on the Nov. 11 episode.<\/p>\n

Celebrating\u00a0the show\u2019s 20th anniversary, each couple performed an old routine done by a previous \u201cDWTS\u201d couple. The\u00a021-year-old wildlife conservationist\u00a0and partner Witney Carson performed a foxtrot to \u201cFootprints in the Sand\u201d by Leona Lewis.<\/p>\n

The routine was extra special because it was the one that his older sister, Bindi Irwin, danced with her then-partner Derek Hough during Season 21, which they won. Bindi Irwin had dedicated it\u00a0to their late father Steve Irwin.<\/p>\n

During rehearsal, Bindi Irwin told her brother how proud she was of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of weight,\u201d Robert Irwin told the cameras. \u201cI want it to be our best dance yet, to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bindi Irwin also said about her performance, \u201cA part of me healed that day. So now I hope that Robert gets that same experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally during rehearsal, Prince William also surprised Robert Irwin with a video call. The young Australian was supposed to attend The Earthshot Prize event in Brazil with British royal but was unable to because he is still competing on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re missing you, Robert. Whilst your twinkle toes are going elsewhere, I need you down here,\u201d William joked. \u201cYou guys got a seriously good chance of winning. Just the best of luck on the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the call, Robert Irwin said, \u201cWe are doing this dance for Bindi and we\u2019re doing this dance for Prince William. Let\u2019s not mess this up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Irwin and Carson then delivered an emotional routine. As they flawlessly executed the number, towards the end of the dance, Bindi Irwin joined her brother.<\/p>\n

When all three held hands as they wrapped, projected on the ballroom floor were scenes of Steve Irwin holding a young Robert Irwin. Robert Irwin was nearly 3 years old when\u00a0his father died.<\/p>\n

Robert Irwin then suddenly kneeled, overcome with emotion as his sister and Carson embraced him. He was in tears as he went over to the judges to get his feedback.<\/p>\n

Bruno Tonioli described it as a \u201cpoetic, touching tribute,\u201d adding, \u201cYou got the royal seal of approval, now you got America\u2019s seal of approval!\u201d<\/p>\n

While Carrie Ann Inaba did point out a mistake, she called Robert Irwin a \u201cbeautiful storyteller.\u201d Derek Hough also was choking up seeing his former routine come to life again. He told Robert Irwin that he is this \u201cgeneration\u2019s beacon of joy, you are dancing it beautifully.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guest judge Tom Bergeron\u00a0recalled meeting Robert Irwin 10 years ago when his sister competed, adding, “You have grown into a star.”<\/p>\n

For the Oct. 14 Dedication Night episode, Robert Irwin had previously\u00a0honored his mom Terri Irwin.<\/p>\n

When talking to Julianne Hough, Robert Irwin once again got teary-eyed talking about his and his father’s dedication to wildlife conservation. He said he’s only ever wanted to make his father proud. He also added that the footage projected came as a surprise to him, making him more emotional.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know that footage was going to be there at the end,\u201d he said, getting emotional. \u201cEvery time that I step onto that floor, I represent my dad, his message and what he stood for and I just want to make him proud. He\u2019s my hero.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/em>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<\/p>\n

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\u00a0revealed that she will\u00a0undergo immunotherapy treatments\u00a0for the next two years and\u00a0has taken breaks\u00a0in the past\u00a0as 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.”<\/p>\n

Her energy levels have also impacted her work schedule with her podcast,\u00a0Two T’s in a Pod<\/em>, which she co-hosts with\u00a0The Real Housewives of Orange County\u00a0<\/em>cast member,\u00a0Tamra Judge.\u00a0“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.”<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As previously stated, Teddi shared some major news about her battle with Stage 4 cancer in early October. Teddi took to her\u00a0podcast on Oct. 3, where she opened up about her doctor’s findings. “At this point, there is no detectable cancer,” she stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Teddi has also been surrounded by her loved ones, including her father,\u00a0John Mellencamp, and\u00a0her kids, during this time. She took to\u00a0Instagram\u00a0on Oct. 24, where she posted a photo of her dad surrounded by her daughters,\u00a0Slate\u00a0and\u00a0Dove Arroyave, and\u00a0opened up about John’s support.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
