Robert Irwin, a 21-year-old wildlife conservationist, and the son of the original crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, was the first star announced to star in the upcoming season. Robert was an obvious choice because his sister Bindi was on the show when she was just 17 years old. Bindi was paired with dancer Derek Hough and the two won the trophy that season. Because she was only 17 years old, there were grumblings about her winning a cash prize, but in the spirit of their family legacy, Bindi donated her winnings to wildlife conservation. Robert could be a contender to pay attention to as his older sister has probably shared her secrets for a successful season.
