Robert Irwin Strips Off During Dancing With The Stars Salsa

Robert Irwin earned a top score of 22/30 with partner Witney Carson during the show’s TikTok night, impressing judges and fans with his salsa performance and showmanship.

  • During Season 34's TikTok Night on September 30, Robert Irwin ripped off his shirt mid-salsa, leaving judge Carrie Ann Inaba speechless.
  • Irwin used his rehearsal package to explain he uses TikTok to promote animal welfare and introduced partner Witney Carson to an alligator he rescued, following sister Bindi Irwin's footsteps.
  • The judges awarded the salsa a total of 22/30 as Derek Hough called it rigid, Bruno Tonioli praised Irwin's 'million-dollar' shirt reveal, and Carrie Ann Inaba said, `Robert Irwin is all grown up.`
  • Audience reaction showed the shirtless reveal sent fans into a frenzy, and three dances in, Irwin and Carson have proven popular and consistent high scorers.
  • Irwin later revealed to Page Six the shirt-rip was his own idea to show a bolder side, Carson said fans flooded her DMs, and DWTS airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
