His Family’s ‘Worst Nightmare’ (Exclusive)

Robert Irwin has arguably become the breakout star this season on Dancing with the Stars — and according to a source, the wildlife conservationist is in no hurry to return to his native Australia once his stint comes to an end.

“Robert is completely under the Hollywood spell right now, and it’s no wonder because he’s getting spoiled rotten,” the source tells Star. “He’s being invited to all the A-list parties, he’s getting gifted clothes and watches, he’s being chauffeured around like a movie star — all he has to do is say he wants something, and a team of people jump to get it for him.”

The source says 21-year-old Robert’s new lifestyle has got the rest of his family — mom Terri, 61, and sister Bindi, 27— in a panic.

As Star previously reported, Bindi announced in August that she was temporarily relocating from Australia to America with her 4-year-old daughter, Grace, to support Robert as he competed on DWTS.

“Bindi flew out to L.A. under the guise of helping out with some publicity for Robert,” explains the source. “But the truth is she 1760113513 wants to help reel him back in.”

According to the source, Robert has loved life in the States so much that he’s started talking about setting up life here permanently after DWTS wraps. “That is their worst nightmare,” the source says, referring to Bindi and Terri. “They’re a very close family, they don’t want him a million miles away.”

Plus, they need his help at the Australia Zoo, which was cofounded in 1970 by his grandparents Bob and Lyn Irwin, and later passed down to his late father, Steve. “It’s a massive operation,” adds the source, “and Robert is a huge part of it.”
