Robert Irwin Credits Sister Bindi's DWTS Wisdom: 'I'm So Lucky to Have Her Support'
Robert Irwin is ready to shake his stuff on Dancing with the Stars Australia, and he's got a secret weapon: his older sister, Bindi Irwin! In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE, the beloved conservationist and wildlife expert shared the invaluable advice Bindi gave him before stepping onto the dance floor for season 34. Bindi, of course, famously won the competition several years ago, and Robert is leaning on her experience to navigate the challenges ahead.

For those unfamiliar, Bindi Irwin captivated audiences in 2015 when she and her partner, Duncan James, took home the coveted mirror ball trophy. Her grace, talent, and genuine spirit made her a fan favourite, and her victory remains a cherished moment for the Irwin family and their supporters.

The anticipation for Robert’s debut is high, and fans are eager to see him shine. With Bindi’s guidance and his own infectious enthusiasm, Robert Irwin is poised to make a splash on Dancing with the Stars Australia. Keep an eye out for his performances – you won’t want to miss it!
