Dancing With The Stars US viewers have lashed out at the show after Robert Irwin’s spellbinding performance this week.
The latest episode was themed around the hit musical-turned-blockbuster Wicked, with Robert and his dance partner Witney Carson performing a jazz routine to the hit track Dancing Through Life.
Robert did his best Fiyero impression for the upbeat routine, while Witney transformed into Glinda.
The Australia wildlife warrior, 21, who admitted he is a huge Wicked fan, thrilled the audience with his rendition of the beloved showtune.
All four judges gave Robert a 9 out of ten, which was the highest score of the season and landed him at the top of this week’s leaderboard.
However the result left plenty of fans bristling, with many arguing online that he should have scored at least one perfect 10.

‘Robert deserved the first 10 of the season,’ one user wrote, as someone added: ‘Disappointed, that was the most deserving dance of a 10 mixed w that choreo… like what was even missing?!’
‘Robert Irwin robbed AGAIN like that was literally Jonathan Bailey,’ another agreed.
Another user commented: ‘How did he not get at least 1 ten??? He got no corrections or negative feedback? Like what does it take for a ten this season?’
Viewers were even more frustrated when The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives’ Whitney Leavitt received three 10s for her performance of the song Popular.
It was the first time a contestant had scored a 10 this season.
‘[Robert Irwin and Witney Carson] did so good! They needed at least one 10! How did Whitney [Leavitt] get three 10s and you could barely see her footwork?’ one wrote.
‘Uh what?? This dance was far better than Whitney and Mark’s,’ another said of Robert’s performance.
Next week’s dances will be themed around Halloween.
