Robert Irwin is expanding his television presence by reportedly hosting a new 'Dancing With The Stars' spin-off. The 22-year-old Wildlife Warrior is currently filming the Disney/BBC production, titled 'Dancing With The Stars - The Next Pro,' in Queensland. This new reality series focuses on American contestants competing for a professional dancer position on 'DWTS US.'
An insider described the show as a blend of 'Big Brother' and 'Dancing With The Stars,' where dancers live and train together while viewers witness behind-the-scenes action. Robert himself is said to have pitched the idea to US producers, leveraging his popularity with American audiences. Filming is taking place with the support of his mother, Terri Irwin, who sees it as an opportunity to promote Australia.
Robert is expected to be joined by his 'DWTS US' winning partner, Witney Carson. The contestants will be judged by notable figures like Shirley Ballas and Mark Ballas. This new venture follows reports that Terri Irwin had encouraged Robert to stay closer to home in Australia, though this new project aligns with promoting Australia.
