Crikey!

Dancing With the Stars contestant Robert Irwin left judge Carrie Ann Inaba speechless after ripping of his shirt in the middle off his salsa with partner Witney Carson. The pair danced to “Million Dollar Baby” by Tommy Richman on the show’s first-ever TikTok night.

Following their dance, Irwin stood in front of the judges’ panel still exposing his abs.

“Robert Irwin is all grown up,” Inaba proclaimed. “You’re making me feel like a grandmother. I’m like, ‘Put a shirt on!’”

Visibly flustered, Inaba struggled to find her words. “You are a really great performer,” she added. “I’m just going to leave it there.”

Fellow judge Derek Hough wasn’t quite as distracted by Irwin’s abs, offering up constructive criticism, noting, “It was rigid. It was stiff for salsa.”

The audience began to boo at Hough’s comments, but Inaba quieted them, saying, “Don’t boo him!”

Cohost Julianne Hough added on to the praise for Irwin’s physique when he and Carson joined her in the sky box. “Robert’s with me,” she said, adding, “I think it’s another Hemsworth. I’m not sure,” likening Irwin to his fellow Australians, actors Chris and Liam Hemsworth.

An animal conservationist, Irwin used his rehearsal package to explain how he uses TikTok to promote animal welfare. He even introduced Carson to one of the alligators he had rescued.

Irwin, the son of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, has become an early favorite on the show. He follows closely in the fancy footsteps of his sister, Bindi, who won season 21 of DWTS with partner Derek Hough.

For the third week in a row, Irwin and Carson earned the highest score of all the season 34 contestants. Even with Hough’s critique, the duo earned a total of 24 out of 30, tying with gymnast Jordan Chiles and pro Ezra Sosa for the top spot on the leaderboard.

Brittany Cartwright Shares “Heartbreaking” Update on Family’s Kentucky Farm as Her Mom Speaks Out

Production for The Valley season three is currently underway, and Brittany Cartwright is expected to return to the popular Bravo show. Recently, the reality star took to Instagram to share that a fire had occurred at her family’s farm, known as Turner Farm.

As fans know, Brittany is from Kentucky, and she has often talked about being raised on the previously mentioned farm. In fact, it was even featured on Vanderpump Rules: Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky, which premiered in 2017. The series consisted of six episodes.

Brittany took to Instagram on September 28 to reveal that a fire had occurred at Turner Farm, which spans 400 acres of land. She shared footage that her mother, Sherri Cartwright, had previously posted to the social media platform. Brittany captioned the Instagram Story, “This is so heartbreaking, our pawpaws last barn on the farm burned down today, and we have no idea why.”

She continued, “The other barn fell down in a bad storm a couple years ago. My mom is devastated, so many memories since she was a little girl were made here.”

Brittany added, “If you ever watched ‘Jax and Brittany take Kentucky,’ you saw this barn many times on the show. So thankful no one was hurt and the animals are safe.”

Brittany’s mother said in the original post, “This is the last barn we had on the Turner farm. This is where I kept the horses at… and it burnt down really fast. We’re not sure what exactly happened. The fire department has been out there. But thank god, praise god, I had the horses out. I let them out before church this morning, so they’re fine.”

She added, “Just say a prayer for us. It could be a lot worse. Gosh, you just don’t know how quick something can be over. We thank you, lord, that we’re OK and the little horses are OK, ’cause I would be so upset without them. I love them so much.”

Brittany’s mother also stated that the fire caused damage to her sister’s home. However, it seems the damage wasn’t severe enough to render it uninhabitable.
