LDT “🕺🎃 Robert Irwin Unleashes His Dark Side on Dancing With the Stars — Scores Season High with Fiery Argentine Tango”
Robert Irwin is turning up the heat on the dance floor. The Crikey! It’s the Irwins star delivered a show-stopping Argentine Tango during Dancing With the Stars’ Halloween Night episode, earning his highest score of the season alongside partner Witney Carson.
Set to the haunting string-quartet rendition of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”, the duo’s performance mixed elegance with eerie intensity. Irwin, dressed in a deep-red velvet suit and dark makeup, matched Carson’s dramatic choreography step for step as fog and crimson lights filled the ballroom.
Their storytelling captivated both audience and judges. The routine — which ended with Carson being dragged offstage before Irwin returned covered in theatrical “blood” — earned thunderous applause and 38 out of 40 points, including perfect 10s from Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli.
“Did I believe you as the leading man? Yes, I did,” Inaba said, praising Irwin’s confidence and control. Tonioli added, “That was deadly hot!”
The pair also picked up extra points in the night’s bonus “Dance Monster-thon,” securing a spot near the top of the leaderboard.
Irwin, 21, has quickly become one of this season’s fan favorites, showing remarkable growth each week despite having no formal dance background. He’s been open about leaning on advice from his sister Bindi Irwin, who won the Mirror Ball Trophy in 2015. “She told me to just have fun and give everything,” he said earlier in the season.
With this hauntingly powerful Tango, Robert Irwin proved he’s not just the kid from the outback — he’s a true showman finding his rhythm under the spotlight. 🌹🔥
