‘Robert Irwin, he is the cutest,’ she gushed.
‘His sister Bindi was on the show and I remember watching his sister on the show when I was eight years old, and I was like “Robert’s like my age.” I was like “Please he has to be on the show at least one day for me”,’ she added.
The TikToker, who has over 849,000 followers on the platform, became visibly excited when the interviewer mentioned Irwin had expressed interest in joining the dancing competition show.

Arnold joined the US version of Dancing with the Stars in 2023 as a pro-dancer for season 32 and quickly sparked romance rumours with her Australian partner, Harry Jowsey.
The pair were rumoured to have started dating last October, when they were spotted while holding hands by fans of Dancing With The Stars.
The reality television personality nor the professional dancer have ever confirmed they were dating.

Jowsey and Arnold spoke about their friendship during an interview with Page Six, during which the latter stated that she was glad to have been paired with the social media figure for the competition.
‘I think I’m going to take away this relationship that I have with Harry. How special it was and how great it was to be paired with him and to have done this with him,’ she said.
Jowsey then stated that he greatly enjoyed working on Dancing With The Stars ‘because I [knew] every day I woke up I’d see Rylee.’
The reality television star added: ‘being able to spend so much time with her and learn something…it’s been really incredible.’

Meanwhile, Robert is single following his shock split from girlfriend Rorie Buckey in February.
The pair wiped all traces of their relationship from each other’s social media shortly after announcing their shock break-up.
After dating for almost two years, they made a joint statement about their split in a post shared to Rorie’s Instagram page.
After sharing the devastating news, Robert erased Rorie from his Instagram as his grid now only shows posts featuring himself and his family.
Confirming their split, they said in a joint statement that they had ‘decided to go their separate ways’ but ‘appreciated all the time spent together’.
The statement read: ‘We wanted to share that we have decided to go our separate ways but profoundly appreciate all the time spent together and wish one another all the very best into the future.
‘We wish to express the gratitude and respect we have for one another as we continue our journeys on different paths.
‘We won’t be commenting further on this, and really appreciate your respect and privacy at this time.’
Robert and Rorie were believed to have been dating since November 2022, but went Instagram official almost a year later in August 2023.
