2023 could be the year we get to see Robert Irwin join a reality TV competition for the first time.
As per So Dramatic!, Steve’s famous son discussed the possibility during an appearance on Fitzy & Wippa last week.
According to Robert, the entire Irwin clan are constantly offered opportunities to appear on shows like Dancing with the Stars Australia and The Masked Singer Australia.
Some of the Irwin family, of course, are no strangers to the world of reality TV competitions: Robert’s sister Bindi won the Dancing with the Stars U.S. back in 2015.
Could Robert soon be joining her? It could be The Masked Singer Australia for the 18=year-old instead. “Mate, I’d give it a go, I don’t know (but) I’d give it a go,” he told the radio hosts.
He added that “there has been talk about that; I’d give it a crack.” Not that joining the show would be an easy ride. “I’d probably be terrible at it. I cannot sing,” he said self-deprecatingly.
Away from reality TV, Robert recently became an author, publishing a photography book titled ‘Robert Irwin’s Australia’.

As he told People, it was largely inspired by his dad’s love of photography. “My dad was a very, very passionate photographer,” he said. “It sort of runs in the family. He was equally enthusiastic behind the lens as in front of it. And it’s just always kind of been there and been part of my life.”
“This book is a showcase of one of our world’s last frontiers, exhibiting powerful imagery from the most rugged, beautiful, surprising and awe-inspiring continent on Earth,” the book’s official description says.
“It pays homage to my home, and encapsulates my journey behind the lens. For the first time, I will delve into what makes photography so special to me and reveal the profound connection it has to conservation, and to my dad’s life and legacy.”
