After over ten weeks of rehearsing and dancing almost non-stop, Robert Irwin, and his body, are “feeling it.”
Leading up to the Dancing With The Stars finale, the beloved conservationist’s pro partner Witney Carson admitted that the pains and injuries of their strict schedule are catching up with them.
The pair are going into the finale to compete for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy against Alix Earle with Val Chmerkovskiy, Elaine Hendrix with Alan Bersten, Jordan Chiles with Ezra Sosa, and Dylan Efron with Daniella Karagach, Tuesday, November 25.
Witney, taking to TikTok with a GRWM video reflecting on the last week of Dancing with the Stars, first confessed: “My body is feeling it, Robert’s body is feeling it, we’re like, kind of falling apart right now,” adding that they are “just trying to keep it together for like, two more days. Literally today and tomorrow, and then it’s over.”
“Robert’s ribs have been killing him, and more will be revealed on Tuesday, and you guys can get a better idea of what we’ve been dealing with all week on Tuesday,” she shared later in the video, revealing: “I do have to change some things that involve the other dancers and involve the other guys.”
Further reflecting on the emotional toll of the last few days of rehearsal, camera blocking, and working towards the finale, Witney said: “I was so emotional yesterday, I literally couldn’t stop crying,” noting: “I think for a bunch of different reasons. I think I’m emotionally and physically exhausted, but also that this whole experience is coming to an end, it just feels very bittersweet.”

The Utah native, 32, has been married to mechanical engineer Carson McAllister since 2016, and they share two sons, Kevin Leo, born in January 2021, and Jet, born in May 2023.
Then expressing her appreciation for all the fans who have voted, and urging them to continue to vote tonight, she emphasized: “I really do feel like I’ve already won in this experience with Robert as my partner.”
