Bindi Irwin Supports Brother Robert Irwin After Emotional DWTS Tribute to Late Dad Steve Irwin
Bindi Irwin proved she’s always by Robert Irwin’s side.
The wildlife conservationist, 27, made a surprise appearance in her younger brother and partner Witney Carson‘s latest Dancing With the Stars routine, which was a tribute to Robert and Bindi’s late father Steve Irwin, on the show’s Nov. 11 episode.
Towards the end of their emotional foxtrot set to Leona Lewis‘ “Footprints in the Sand”—the same song season 21 winner Bindi danced to with Derek Hough in their 2015 freestyle routine—the partners separated on the dance floor before Bindi walked out and took Robert’s hand to finish the performance with him.
As the music ended, the season 34 hopeful was overcome with emotion and crouched to the ground in tears as Bindi and Whitney cradled him in their arms. The camera panned up to reveal a clip of them in the arms of their late father—who died in 2006—as mom Terri Irwin looking on playing on the ballroom floor.
