The show must go on for Robert Irwin! Even with a nasty injury!
Yeah, you read that correctly! Witney Carson revealed in a video on TikTok Monday night that her celebrity partner injured his ribs before the Dancing With The Stars finale! Ugh! The ballroom dancer explained that both of their bodies are “falling apart” after 11 weeks of grueling rehearsals, adding:
“Today at [camera] blocking is a little stressful because we just have to make the freestyle all come together. Robert’s ribs have been killing him and more will be revealed on Tuesday and you guys can get a better idea of what we’ve been dealing with all week.”

Witney did not say how he got the injury. But unfortunately, the champion said she had to “change some things” about their routines at the last minute due to the fan-favorite’s hurt ribs. Oof. Of course, that is “the most stressful part” for the partners. We get it! Changing a routine in the eleventh hour is not ideal! Especially since the television personality has several dances to master: a freestyle to Black & Gold by Sam Sparro and The Nights by Avicii, a quickstep to Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet, and an instant dance.
However, Witney praised Robert for working through the pain and giving it all he’s got. She said the 21-year-old wildlife conservationist is “going to want to practice until the very last second.” Practice makes perfect! Watch her entire video (below):
@witneycarsonofficial WHAT!!! Tomorrow we dance for the final time ???? #grwm #dwts #witneycarson #robertirwin
