Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin is “absolutely gutted” by Danielle Fishel‘s elimination after season 34’s Rock and Roll Night.
Danielle’s impact:
The 21-year-old Dancing With the Stars frontrunner is “absolutely devastated” that the Boy Meets World actress won’t be on set. “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. 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. She should be so proud of herself.”
Robert’s pro-partner, Witney Carson, echoed his sentiments. She gushed that the iconic Topanga actress is “such a class act.”
“Every time I go into makeup or hair, her genuine smile just makes me feel better. She’s got this warmth of mother protectiveness, and it was such a pleasure getting to know her. We’re going to miss her so much.”

ICYMI:
Danielle and her professional partner, Pasha Pashkov, were ultimately sent home on Tuesday after performing a contemporary routine to Aerosmith’s “Dream On.” They received a score of 34 out of 40 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough and guest judge Flavor Flav.
The pair were also part of Team Chicago, earning the season’s first perfect score. Still, Danielle and Pasha were eliminated despite winning the group challenge and not being at the bottom of the leaderboard.
