Robert Irwin has suffered a shock injury just hours out from his anticipated turn in the US Dancing With The Stars finale.
The wildlife warrior’s dance partner, Witney Carson, took to TikTok on Tuesday night to reveal that Robert had suffered a rib injury.
The clip showed Witney reflecting on her time with Robert on the hit reality series, and the physical toll it has taken on them both.
‘I look so wrecked. This is what 11 weeks of crazy, vigorous, hard dancing looks like,’ Witney revealed in the clip.
‘My body is feeling it. Robert’s body is feeling it. We’re just trying to hold it together right now.’
Speaking before the pair’s final on-set rehearsal, Witney then revealed that Robert had been practising the routines through gritted teeth.

‘Robert’s ribs have been killing him,’ she said.
While she didn’t go into detail about the extent of the injury, Witney added that more would be revealed when they take to the stage.
‘More will be revealed on Tuesday and you guys can get a better idea of what we’ve been dealing with all week,’ she said.
‘I do have to change some things that involve other dancers and involve the other guys, so it’s just honestly been the most stressful part.’
In spite of his injury, Witney said that Robert had been pushing through regardless.Â
‘Knowing Robert, he’s going to want to rehearse until the very last second,’ she said.
‘Last night, we stayed a the studio until it closed down. They had to kick us out at nine pm. We’re going to have absolutely no regrets by the end of this.’
More to come.
