Bindi Irwin was notably absent as her brother Robert Irwin scored his highest marks on Dancing With The Stars on Tuesday night.
The wildlife warrior, who moved to Los Angeles to support her brother, has been cheering from the sidelines every week.
However, she failed to attend this week’s Halloween-themed performance, marking a first since Robert took to the DWTS stage.
Now, the 27-year-old has revealed the sad reason she couldn’t attend Rob’s big night.
Chandler, Grace and I all got a bug, and I’ve completely lost my voice now…’ she captioned an Instagram post of the sweet family.
‘So we will be cheering (quietly) from our living room for Robert and Witney on @dancingwiththestars.’

Bindi went on to gush about her brother’s skills on the dancefloor and how proud she was of his progress on the show.
Robert shocked fans with his physical appearance on Dancing With The Stars as he performed a Halloween-themed dance that left both judges and audiences in awe.
The 21-year-old celebrity conservationist took to the stage with dance partner Witney Carson to a haunting rendition of the classic song Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).
Robert looked dashing in a gothic-inspired costume as he portrayed a conductor who brings his partner back to life during a terrifying night out.
At one point, Robert’s face was soaked with fake blood and he appeared equally gruesome and terrifying as he performed his electrifying dance for the crowd.
The performance earned near-perfect scores from the judges, as Robert was awarded a total of 38 out of 40 – his highest score this season.
One of the judges described their routine as ‘powerful and magnetic,’ as they gushed over the breathtaking performance.

Impressed viewers took to social media to praise Robert’s captivating – and ghoulish – performance.
‘Imagine turning the channel and seeing Australia’s sweetheart Robert Irwin covered in blood with no context,’ one person wrote.
‘Omg THE BLOOD WHAT,’ a second added.
‘Crikey that was good!’ a third chimed in.
Robert is one of Australia’s most eligible bachelors.
His sister Bindi won Dancing With The Stars US in 2015.
Robert Irwin set pulses racing with his latest performance on Dancing With The Stars for Halloween Night. The 21-year-old Wildlife Warrior, who is rumoured to be dating a backup dancer on the show, performed an Argentine tango to ‘Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)’ with his partner Witney Carson.
The performance saw Robert portraying a conductor bringing Witney back to life before being dragged away and splattered with fake blood. The judges applauded the routine, which featured plenty of dips, kicks, and flips, and described him as a “natural showman”.
Following complaints from viewers last week that he was ‘robbed’ of a perfect score, Robert and Witney finally received two 10s from the judges.
His total score was 38 out of 40, marking his highest score of the competition so far.

‘Impossible not to root for him’
Many viewers took to social media following the performance to applaud the “finale-worthy” performance and joke that he needs to make room at Australia Zoo to display the mirrorball trophy.
“I could watch Witney and Robert dance all day, every day,” one person wrote.
“I love Robert so much guys, he looks like he is literally having the time of his life, it’s impossible not to root for him,” another added.
Others joked that Robert still looked “so hot” with blood all over him.
“Imagine turning the channel and seeing Australia’s sweetheart Robert Irwin covered in blood with no context,” one viewer remarked.
“Robert so badly wanting to hug someone after getting a 10 but not wanting to get blood on anyone is killing me,” someone else said.
This week marked Robert’s seventh performance on Dancing With The Stars, with the finale set to air on November 25.
Next week’s performance will be Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night, with Robert’s routine and song choice expected to be revealed in the next few days.
