Robert Irwin is dancing through the pain.
Ahead of the Dancing With the Stars finale, which will see Robert compete against fellow stars Alix Earle, Dylan Efron, Jordan Chiles and Elaine Hendrix for the coveted Mirrorball trophy, Robert’s pro partner Witney Carson admitted the duo is worse for wear.
“We’re kind of falling apart right now,” Witney shared in a Nov. 24 TikTok video. “My body is feeling it right now, Robert’s body is feeling it right now.”
And while Witney, 32, and Robert, 21, certainly will not be evacuating the dance floor, the professional admitted that “Robert’s ribs have been killing him,” alluding that the undisclosed injury has impeded their final week of rehearsals.
“More will be revealed on Tuesday and you guys can get a better idea of what we’ve been dealing with all week,” Witney explained. “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.”
