Fans lose their minds as Robert Irwin strips off during pulse-raising Dancing With The Stars routine

Robert Irwin has whipped his fans into a frenzy with another sizzling performance on Dancing With The Stars US.

After wowing judges and fans last week with a pulse-raising tango, Robert, 21, and his partner Witney Carson, 31, smouldered again on Tuesday night, this time with a hot salsa.

This week’s TikTok theme saw the couple dance to the viral 2024 Tommy Richman hit Million Dollar Baby.

The routine began with Witney sitting on Robert’s shoulders before the wildlife warrior guided her to the floor and into an embrace.

The pair looked all business as they energetically swayed their hips, with Robert sporting a serious ‘blue steel’ look that would make Derek Zoolander green with envy.

As the pair continued their sizzling routine, Robert dialled up the raunch factor another notch by ripping his shirt off – much to the delight of the roaring crowd.

Robert was not afraid to flaunt his envy-inducing six-pack, and the roars of approval continued until the routine ended.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba was obviously enamoured with the routine, and she wasted no time in gushing over Robert’s performance.

‘Robert Irwin is all grown up, wow, you’re making me feel like a grandmother,’ she said. ‘Put your shirt back on. Great performance.’

Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli agreed, likening Robert to fellow Australian gym enthusiast Chris Hemsworth.

The pair did face some criticism, however, with Derek Hough slamming the routine as ‘rigid.’

‘You’re strong, assertive, a great performer – but I wasn’t fooled by them abs,’ he said, which elicited boos from the audience.

Robert and Witney walked away with an overall score of 22, meaning that they slipped into third place in the competition.

Despite falling off the pace, the performance sent fans and viewers into a frenzy, not unlike Robert’s internet-breaking Bonds underwear campaign earlier this year.

‘I’m sorry to my husband for the way I reacted to this, one sheepish fan offered.

Another chimed in with a similar: ‘How do I explain the way Robert makes me feel to my wife.’

A third excited viewer offered: ‘Pretty sure people 20 miles away heard me screaming when he took his shirt off.’

The swooning didn’t end there, either, with yet another viewer unable to hide their love of Robert’s moves.

‘The screams I let out after watching this. Lawdd have mercy, Robert,’ the fan wrote.

Others were quick to point out that Robert and Witney deserved higher scores for their sensual salsa.

‘No pun intended but he was ROBBED should have been 9s!!!!!’ one said, summing up the sentiment of many.

It comes after Witney revealed, in a post-routine interview last week, that she was assisting single Robert in his quest to find love.

After Robert confessed to E! News that he was single and ready to mingle, Witney admitted that she was taking a proactive approach to her ‘wingman’ duties.

‘Well you have to go through kind of a screening process, so submit your applications through my DMs and then I will forward them to Bindi, and then we’ll see about the American tourist,’ she said.

Witney added: ‘And you’ll be single forever,’ which elicited a ‘woah’ from Robert.

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.
