Robert Irwin set pulses racing with his latest performance on Dancing With The Stars for Halloween Night. The 21-year-old Wildlife Warrior, who is rumoured to be dating a backup dancer on the show, performed an Argentine tango to ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)’ with his partner Witney Carson.

The performance saw Robert portraying a conductor bringing Witney back to life before being dragged away and splattered with fake blood. The judges applauded the routine, which featured plenty of dips, kicks, and flips, and described him as a “natural showman”.

Following complaints from viewers last week that he was ‘robbed’ of a perfect score, Robert and Witney finally received two 10s from the judges.

His total score was 38 out of 40, marking his highest score of the competition so far.

‘Impossible not to root for him’

Many viewers took to social media following the performance to applaud the “finale-worthy” performance and joke that he needs to make room at Australia Zoo to display the mirrorball trophy.

“I could watch Witney and Robert dance all day, every day,” one person wrote.

“I love Robert so much guys, he looks like he is literally having the time of his life, it’s impossible not to root for him,” another added.

Others joked that Robert still looked “so hot” with blood all over him.

“Imagine turning the channel and seeing Australia’s sweetheart Robert Irwin covered in blood with no context,” one viewer remarked.

“Robert so badly wanting to hug someone after getting a 10 but not wanting to get blood on anyone is killing me,” someone else said.
