Bindi Irwin has done an exceptional job on "Dancing With The Stars" so far this season and has wowed the judges week after week, so it only makes sense that the producers would want to keep the Irwin energy and talent around for the upcoming season.
Bindi's little brother Robert, who is only 11 years old, is already a possible recruit for next season as producers hope he could help them keep this season's success going, according to Celebrity Dirty Laundry. During an interview on the Australian version of the "Today Show," the family of the late Steve Irwin revealed that it's a possibility.
"Robert is being eyed off by the producers," their mom Terri told the reporter, to which Bindi and Robert both replied that they're all for the idea. While Robert would be 12 by the time season 22 began, this would still make Robert the youngest competitor to compete on the show by a couple of years - but is it too young? The youngest contestant so far has been 14-year-old Willow Shields, so it might be a few years before Robert could be allowed to compete, but you never really know what will happen on the hit show.
"It would be a lot of fun - it would be pretty incredible" Robert said, according to Daily Mail. "For us, this is completely different from anything we have ever done - I mean we are certainly not used to all these sparkles and rhinestones and heels so it's a really different situation to jumping on crocs and catching snakes in the mud."
Bindi, 17, has dedicated her time on the show to their father as a way to honor him and make him proud, and her positive energy shines in each and every performance. "I hope he would be proud - I really, really do," she told the host. "Everything that I do in life is to make him proud and to make sure that everything he worked so hard for carries on."
