Bindi Irwin Leaves A Special Video Message For Brother Robert
Robert Irwin is getting great advice from his sister, Bindi, as he prepares for his debut on Dancing with the Stars.
On Wednesday, September 3, Good Morning America revealed the full cast of celebrities who will be hitting the ballroom floor for season 34 of Dancing with the Stars.
Months earlier, the show had already announced a few of the contestants as a little sneak peek. Robert Irwin was the first celebrity officially confirmed.
Of course, fans were especially excited about this news because ten years earlier, his sister Bindi had competed on the show. She went on to win the mirrorball trophy with her partner Derek Hough.

Now, viewers are excited to see Robert follow in his sister’s footsteps. But no one is happier about it than Bindi herself. She even moved her family to Los Angeles for the next three months so she can be there to support him throughout the competition.
Since she has firsthand experience, Bindi is also helping her brother as much as she can.
While Robert and the rest of the DWTS cast were on Good Morning America, she surprised him with a sweet video message full of important advice.
“Hey Robert! I am so excited that you are embarking on your ‘Dancing With the Stars’ journey. Oh my goodness,” Bindi began in the video.
She went on to share what she believes is the best advice she can give him.
“After being on the show 10 years ago, my best advice is to just lean into the experience. This is going to change your entire life.”
She continued, “And you are going to remember this forever. I am so proud of you. Let your personality shine. You’ve got this! And I can’t wait to cheer you on every week.”
After, Robert responded to Bindi’s kind words, calling her his “biggest inspiration” and saying she’s the reason he decided to join the show.
