Robert also revealed that he rented out a whole theatre in Australia to watch Wicked on his birthday.
鈥淚 love Wicked. It鈥檚 such an amazing film. I鈥檝e always loved it. Back home in Australia, we went and rented out the whole theatre to watch it when it came out for my birthday,鈥� he said on the show.
Robert Irwin has made quite an impact during his time on show scoring close to the top of the leaderboard most weeks since his debut on the program.
However it was his third week on the show that sent fans into overdrive when he stripped off his shirt in a racy dance routine.
Flashing his 6 pack,聽 Robert went full throttle working his hips and sending audiences worldwide over the edge, subsequently breaking the internet, again.聽
However fans were quite frustrated this week when Robert failed to score a 10/10 score from any of the judges.
His performance earned an impressive 36/40, just falling short of a perfect score again, much to the ire of his fans.
ROBERT IRWIN鈥 need the judges to give him a 10 immediately鈥�.
