Robert Irwin is still reeling after pal Danielle Fishel left the ballroom on Dancing With the Stars season 34.

“Absolutely gutted. Absolutely devastated,” Irwin, 21, exclusively told Us Weekly of his reaction to Fishel’s exit after the Tuesday, November 4, episode. “Amongst the contestants here on Dancing With the Stars, she’s the person I think I’ve grown closest to. I consider her one of my best friends in this experience, and she is the most authentic, genuine, incredible human being that leads with this sense of positivity.”

He continued, “She walks in the room and everybody is just lifted up. And the fact that she won’t be in the ballroom anymore, I am gutted, but I think she has pumped out so much positivity through our TV screens. I mean, she should be so proud of herself.”
