Robert Irwin went from down under straight to the top.
And he’s loving every minute of it. After all, the wildlife conservationist took home the Mirrorball trophy on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars alongside pro Witney Carson Nov. 25.
So, what’s next after his big win?
“I go to New York and then straight to South Africa to film another show over there,” Robert exclusively told E! News’ Will Marfuggi. “And then, I’m back home.”
In addition, he’ll be joined by a familiar face. “Witney’s coming down to Australia,” he continued, with the dancer jokingly chiming in, “You’re not getting rid of me that easy.”
It’s certainly been quite the journey for the duo. As Robert put it, “I’ve been able to write my own legacy with Witney as we tell stories of positivity, vulnerability, passion and fun.”
For him, taking his moves to the dancefloor felt like a long time coming. In fact, the 21-year-old even recently shared a clip of himself from 2015 during his sister Bindi Irwin‘s season—in which she came in first with pro Derek Hough—expressing his interest in taking the stage.
