Robert Irwin revealed as first celebrity contestant on DWTS season 34
Robert Irwin has been announced as the first celebrity contestant on Dancing with the Stars season 34. On Tuesday, at Disney Entertainment Television's Get Real Event, the network revealed the dancing competition show would not only be renewed for another season, but that the son of late Australian zookeeper Steve Irwin, 21, would be joining the cast. 'I cannot tell you what a privilege, what an honor it is to be joining this season,' he said at the event while he walked around shirtless with a snake draped on his neck. 'I said, 'One day, that's gonna be me.' And now, that dream is a reality, and I am over the moon. Let's do this!' Robert will likely have a lot of external pressure to receive the Mirrorball trophy as his older sister, Bindi, 26, won season 21 of the show with her partner, Derek Hough. Bindi penned a sweet Instagram post about how excited she is to watch him dance. 'DANCING WITH THE STARS SEASON 34 - LET'S GOOOO! Robert, you are going to absolutely shine in the ballroom,' she wrote. 'I wish I could express the magnitude of how proud I am of you and everything you have achieved. Can't wait to cheer you on each week as you inspire so many with your strength, kindness, and determination. Here's to an extraordinary journey ahead.' She concluded: 'Ps. Can't believe it's been 10 years since I won @dancingwiththestars with the most remarkable human being, @derekhough.' The rest of season 34's celebrities and professional dancers have yet to be announced. A premiere date for the new season is also to be announced; however, recent seasons aired their first episode in September. Last year's season of Dancing with the Stars saw former Bachelor Joey Graziadei and his partner Jenna Johnson take home the trophy, making Graziadei the first male Bachelor to win. 'It means everything,' Graziadei said following his win. 'This experience has been unbelievable, honestly. Everyone from the beginning. Ilona, you have been amazing this season. I love you. All the finalists, the judges, thank you for bearing with us. I tried my best, I promise. Thank you.' The last season also saw record numbers as it was ranked first among adults in the age 18 to 49 demographic in live and same-day viewing for the first time in its history. The season received its highest total viewer audience at 7.95 million. Season 33 also broke several fan voting records, with the finale receiving over 32 million votes for the final five couples, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The news of Robert joining the show's cast comes after he broke the internet earlier this month, appearing stripped to his underwear in photos for a campaign with the Australian brand Bonds as it expanded into the United States for the first time.

Scott Disick did 'bad things' on TV
Scott Disick has done "a lot of bad things" on TV. The 41-year-old reality star doesn't regret much of what he has said on camera but he knows some of his antics, such as an infamous moment in season four of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' where he stuffed a $100 bill in a waiter's mouth while telling him to shut up, don't reflect well on him. Asked what he's said on TV that still haunts him at Disney Entertainment Television's Get Real Event, he said: 'I don't think I've said that many bad things. I've just done a lot of bad things. 'I probably should have never stuffed that money in that man's mouth. 'I probably shouldn't have invited girls on vacation while we were on vacation." However, Scott - who has Mason, 15, Penelope, 12, and Reign, 10, with former partner Kourtney Kardashian - still thinks he kept viewers interested with his antics. He added: 'I've done a lot of bad things, but they were entertaining, I guess.' Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian admitted "a lot of things still haunt" her from filming her family reality shows, including making a "love tape" for then-husband Lamar Odom. She said: 'I cringe when I have to see me naked in a bath of candy." Scott has struggled with alcohol addiction and admitted earlier this year he has had candid conversations with his eldest son about his problems. Speaking on Khloe's 'Khloe in Wonderland' podcast, he said: "The truth is, I do explain to Mason how drinking affected me and how badly it put me in certain places, and he knows that. "And he for a while thought I would treat him differently because of that. And I said, 'I'm not treating you any different because of my mistakes or how I lived.' "'But if I see a problem with alcohol with you, I will take actions. You're gonna try drinking when you're gonna try drinking. But if I see a problem that's hereditary then I'll jump in. But until then, you're treated like every other kid.' "But I would not love to have him see the crazy…it's funny that he hasn't seen some of these things. Maybe he has." But Khloe felt that Mason seeing his dad's "outlandish" behaviour could be a good thing. She said: "Maybe if he sees the outlandishness of you, like the Miami days and all that, maybe that would prevent him from drinking because he'll see how… "But he also knows how incredible you are now. So it's not like you're still like this."

Dancing With the Stars Announces First Season 34 Cast Member
Originally appeared on E! Online Crikey! Dancing With the Stars just announced their first season 34 cast member. Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin—the son of the late Steve Irwin and his wife Terri Irwin—is set to join the ABC competition series for its upcoming season, he announced at Disney Entertainment Television's Get Real Event April 22. And while the 21-year-old—who recently starred in a Bonds underwear campaign—will be trading in his notable khaki uniform for dancing attire, he's not the first member of his family to tango onto the show's dance floor. In fact, Robert's sister Bindi Irwin took home the Mirrorball Trophy in 2015, winning season 21 alongside partner Derek Hough—a feat she still can't believe. "It still doesn't feel real," Bindi—whose dad Steve Irwin died in 2006 at age 44—told Entertainment Tonight in a joint May 2024 interview with Robert and Terri, telling her brother and mom, "I think you guys would shock yourselves with how good you would be." And, in a move possibly hinting at his future, Robert admitted he was interested, adding, "I'd give that a go. Yeah, I'd give it a go. I'd do it." More from E!

Dance pro Rylee Arnold, who placed fourth alongside gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik during season 33, also put her hopes of having Robert on the show into the ether. 'His sister Bindi was on the show,' the 19-year-old told Entertainment Tonight in May, 'and I remember watching his sister on the show when I was 8 years old, and I was like, 'Robert's like my age.' I was like, 'Please he has to be on the show at least one day for me.'' She added, 'Guys, let's all manifest it together.' The rest of the season 34 cast will be announced at a later date. While Robert was eager to join the Dancing With the Stars cast, some stars have turned down the opportunity. Read on to see who all has said no to the show.
