DWTS frontrunner Robert Irwin will step onto the ballroom floor on Tuesday, October 14, with a tribute he’s been building toward all week: a dedication to his mother, Terri Irwin. In the days leading up to Week 5’s “Dedication Night,” the wildlife conservationist shared that it has been “an emotional week in rehearsals,” and that the routine is for his mum and for “all the strong mothers of the world.”

Backstage during Disney Night, he confirmed that the dance will honor Terri—“someone who is just always there for me”—and said he was “very, very grateful” to be working with pro partner Witney Carson to “honor her and the legacy that she has created.” Terri added, “I’m incredibly honoured that Robert thought of me.”
