Robert Irwin has continued to wow the judges on the US season of Dancing With the Stars.
The 21-year-old kicked up a storm with a racy cha-cha performed to Shakira‘s Try Everything in the latest episode alongside dance partner Witney Carson.
Judge Derek Hough gushed over Robert’s famed personal style, and shared how the Wildlife Warrior has the same magic his late father, Steve Irwin, once did.
‘You just have that Irwin aura, ‘ Derek said, adding, ‘you can’t help but smile when I watch you perform.’
However, Derek was not convinced by elements of Robert’s performance, including ‘weird’ arm movements.
He also suggested to Robert that he needs to ‘open up’ his hips to allow better leg extension.

It was judge Carrie Ann Inaba who zeroed in on a significant and unflattering detail about Robert’s performance, leaving the star a little flustered.
‘Sometimes you stop your movements, like you are posing for a straight-on camera shot, and I want you to start to flow through the movements, ‘ she explained.
Still, Inaba was not finished telling Robert that she could see him ‘flexing his muscles’ and that he needed to relax more.
‘[You’re like] check out my back,’ she said before getting up out of her chair to perform an imitation that mocked the star’s preening on the dance floor.
Robert, in typical style, did not disappoint his fans and took the knock with a broad grin and a big laugh, apparently accepting the advice with a ‘thank you’.
Judge Bruno Tonioli was also impressed with the performance, describing the routine as ‘clean, clear and sweet’.
Beginning the performance by descending from the ceiling to the dance floor on a pole, Robert then stepped into an exciting routine with Witney that included plenty of fancy footwork.
It comes after Robert’s staggering salary on Dancing With The Stars US was revealed.

As reported by Variety , each celebrity competing this season has pocketed around US$125,000 ($A188,000) for the rehearsal period and the first two weeks on the show.
Then, if they stay longer, celebrities receive additional weekly bonuses.
In 2019, Variety reported that the maximum amount a celebrity could earn on the show was $US295,000 (A$447,000), while Good Housekeeping claimed earlier this year that the maximum earning could reach $US360,000 (A$558,000).
Robert’s chances of remaining in the competition appear high – his sultry tango with dance partner Witney impressed the judges two weeks ago.
The pair are currently tipped to win the show via Sportsbet.
Meanwhile, there is mounting speculation that Robert could be heading for a role on The Bachelor.
The eligible single whipped up a frenzy among fans who are keen to see him looking for love on TV.
