Robert Irwin announces he will star on the next season of US Dancing With The Stars
Wildlife warrior Robert Irwin will star on the US version of Dancing With The Stars. Irwin, 21, shared a clip of himself making a guest appearance alongside his sister, Bindi, when she was a contestant on the show in 2015, as he announced the news via Instagram. A clearly excited Irwin said: '11-year-old me is beside himself right now. 'Bindi, thank you for inspiring me to take on this next adventure. Dancing With The Stars, I'm so grateful for the life-changing experience ahead.' Irwin said he used to sit in the audience and be in awe of Bindi — who won that season of the show. 'There was a little part of me in my brain thinking 'One day that will be me',' he said. Sister Bindi returned the love, commenting: 'Love you so much. Gosh, how was this 10 years ago? You're going to be amazing.' Irwin made global headlines earlier this month when he appeared in a racy ad campaign for Bonds, as the brand launched in the US. Irwin shows off his muscular chest as he posed in a typically Aussie backyard in a pair of his Bonds underwear. Irwin spoke to US People magazine about the new campaign. 'It was an immediate yes,' Irwin told the publication. 'I wish I could say I was very suave and cool about the whole thing but I was like, 'Yes, let's do it!' because Bonds Australia is an absolute icon. 'Also, I'm at the point in my life where I'm trying to do as many different and random, exciting things and if it's something that makes me a little bit nervous, that I've never done before, and it's a bit of an adrenaline rush, that's what I want to be doing.' Irwin added he was proud the Made for Down Under campaign was bringing awareness to wildlife causes. The wildlife warrior is currently thought to be single, after his first high-profile relationship ended early last year. Irwin and Rorie Buckey, the niece of late Oscar-winner Health Ledger, announced their split on Instagram after dating for more than a year. Buckey shared the news via a joint statement on her Instagram in February 2024. 'We wanted to share that we have decided to go our separate ways but profoundly appreciate all of the time spent together and wish one another all the very best into the future,' the pair said. 'We wish to express the gratitude and respect we have for one another as we continue our journeys on different paths. 'We won't be commenting further on this and really appreciate your respect and privacy at this time.'
