Watch the emotional moment Robert Irwin wins Dancing With The Stars 10 years after sister Bindi

Wildlife advocate Robert Irwin triumphed on Dancing with the Stars, winning the Mirrorball Trophy with partner Witney Carson, exactly a decade after his sister Bindi Irwin claimed the title in 2015.

Despite battling a rib injury ahead of the finale, Robert delivered a powerful, emotional performance and dedicated his victory to his late father.

Bindi marked the moment with pride, posting: “TWO MIRRORBALLS NOW CALL AUSTRALIA ZOO HOME… Congratulations … What a night.”

For Robert, the win is more than a trophy, it’s the fulfilment of a childhood dream and a chance to honour his family’s legacy on the world’s stage.
