Robert also gave potential applicants an insight into what he looks for in a romantic partner.
‘I think more than anything else, just genuine kindness,’ he said.
‘That’s so important, to surround yourself with people who are genuinely kind.’
It comes after Robert and Witney wowed the judges and viewers with their sultry Dancing With The Stars tango.
Prowling across the stage with his blonde bombshell of a partner, Robert’s sultry presence was a world away from his usual demeanour as the affable wildlife warrior.
What’s more, midway through their routine, Robert and Witney broke out into retro noughties dance moves as a tribute to the iconic song’s origins.
Ditching the tango, they had the crowd – including Robert’s mum Terri and sister Bindi – in stitches while doing the robot, before breaking it down on the floor, hip-hop style.
