Robert Irwin kept his late father, Steve Irwin, close to him throughout his DWTS journey
Throughout the show, Robert has made efforts to keep his late father Steve Irwin's memory alive. Earlier, he had revealed on Instagram that he has two "good luck charms" that he keeps with him during rehearsals: a ring made of keys to his childhood home and his dad's shirt.
Robert has worn the shirt for every rehearsal, he shared, even though it features a few holes and tears.
"Each one of the tears and holes and missing buttons tells another story, and this shirt definitely saw a lot," he said in a video. "I guess it's a good example for how dad lived his life: At 100%."
