Robert Irwin Suffers Rib Injury Before ‘DWTS’ Finale: ‘We’re Kind of Falling Apart Right Now’
Fan favorite Robert Irwin is battling through a rib injury ahead of the Dancing With the Stars finale, his partner, Witney Carson, revealed.
“Today at [camera] blocking is a little stressful. Robert’s ribs have been killing him,” Carson, 32, said in a TikTok video shared on Monday, November 24. “More will be revealed on Tuesday. You guys can get a better idea of what we’ve been dealing with all week.”
She continued, “I do have to change some things that involve the other dancers, and involve the other guys. It’s just honestly the most stressful part because this is just getting it all together and it’s gonna take some time.”
Irwin, 21, and Carson head into the finals against Olympian Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, influencer Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach, and Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten.
While Carson did not go into further detail about the conservationist’s injury, the 11 rigorous weeks of competition have reportedly been grueling on their bodies.
“My body is feeling it. Robert’s body is feeling it,” she continued. “We’re kind of falling apart right now. We’re just trying to keep it together for two more days.”
