Witney Carson has also talked about the attention that Robert Irwin has been getting on the show as she revealed, 

"Girls, I love ya, thank you for the applications through somehow my email and flooding the DMs," the dancing pro wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time. “If I could line you all up with Robert, I would because you're all 10/10 perfect cuties."
