Robert Irwin gave fans a real scare this week on Dancing With the Stars when a performance that wowed the judges almost turned into a medical emergency. The 21-year-old Australian wildlife conservationist and son of the late Steve Irwin was performing with partner Witney Carson when things went wrong in a way no one saw coming.
It all happened on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night, where Robert and Witney danced a fiery Paso Doble to Icky Thump by The White Stripes. The performance was intense, full of energy, and earned them two 9s and two 10s from the judges. The audience loved every second, cheering through the routine and clearly having no idea how close Robert came to disaster.
