Robert Irwin has shocked fans with his physical appearance on Dancing With The Stars US, as he performed a Halloween-themed dance that left both judges and audiences in awe.
The 21-year-old celebrity conservationist took to the stage with dance partner Witney Carson to perform to a haunting rendition of the classic song Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).
Irwin looked dashing in a gothic-inspired costume as he portrayed a conductor who brings his partner back to life during a terrifying night out.
At one point, Robert’s face was soaked with fake blood and he appeared equally gruesome and terrifying as he performed his electrifying dance for the crowd.
The performance earned near-perfect scores from the judges, as Robert was awarded a total of 38 out of 40 – his highest score this season.
One of the judges described their routine as ‘powerful and magnetic,’ as they gushed over the breathtaking performance.

Impressed viewers took to social media to praise Robert’s captivating – and ghoulish – performance.
‘Imagine turning the channel and seeing Australia’s sweetheart Robert Irwin covered in blood with no context,’ one person wrote.
‘Omg THE BLOOD WHAT,’ a second added.
‘Crikey that was good!’ a third chimed in.
It follows reports that Robert is rumoured to be romantically involved with an American troupe dancer on Dancing With The Stars US, almost two years after he split with Rorie Buckey.
The celebrity conservationist, 21, who is currently competing on DWTS US with dance partner Witney Carson, is rumoured to be dating a stunning brunette beauty, professional dancer Hailey Bills, 19.
Celebrity gossip account Deux Moi shared an email they received to Instagram on Tuesday, in which they were tipped off about Robert’s budding romance.
‘Everyone’s favourite DWTS bachelor has paused his search for his American dream girl to have some play time beyond the ballroom,’ the email read.

‘My sources tell me he’s been spotted a few times getting cosy with a brunette… The same one he follows around on set. She’s the only troupe member he follows on Instagram.’
The person in question has been revealed to be US woman Hailey Bills, who has been dancing since 2012, specialising in ballroom, ballet and hip hop.
Although Robert and Hailey have remained tight-lipped on the romance rumours, on Tuesday he shared a clip to social media showing himself performing an energetic street dance alongside her.
Robert could not wipe the smile off his face as he got his body moving alongside Hailey, with the pair demonstrating clear chemistry both on and off the dancefloor.

‘Honorary troupe member,’ Robert wrote next to the clip.
In November last year, Robert revealed he is still looking for love after his split with long-time sweetheart
He appeared on Nine’s Today show and confessed there was ‘no one special’ in his life at that time.
After being dubbed one of Australia’s ‘most eligible bachelors’ during the segment, a bashful Robert revealed that dating for him was not easy.
