Dancing With the Stars Goes Down Under With First Season 34 Celeb Cast Member

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.”
