Robert Irwin wins Dancing with the Stars 10 years after sister Bindi triumphed in the competition

Robert Irwin has won Dancing With the Stars.

The 21-year-old conservationist - whose older sister, Bindi Irwin, triumphed in the competition a decade ago - and his professional partner Witney Carson lifted the Mirrorball Trophy on Tuesday (25.11.25) night after battling it out against Alix Earle, Jordan Chiles, Elaine Hendrix and Dylan Efron.

Speaking after the result was announced, Robert cried as he said: "My sister said it best: Thank you for changing my life!"

Witney, 32, added: "I'm so grateful for Robert, honestly — I already feel like I won with him as my friend and I can't thank you enough."

Co-host Alfonso Ribeiro revealed the finale had broken several records for the show. More votes were cast for the top two, Robert and Alix, than any top two in the show's history and the difference between them was closer than ever.

More than 72 million votes were cast during the finale, and over 500 million in total throughout the series.
