Robert Irwin's done it again.

Another week, another perfect score for the Aussie on the American version of Dancing with the Stars – but this time, it's put him through to the grand final.

The energetic jive to Prince's 1984 hit Baby I'm a Star ended with the 21-year-old being flipped by his partner Witney Carson.

Tonioli labelled the dance a "superstar jive", while Hough labelled Robert's full-body movements "incredible".

Inaba also praised the celebrity dancer, calling it a performance worthy of getting them through to the grand final.

His second performance on the Prince music themed night was a Viennese Waltz to the song Wow.

The duo scored 29 out of the possible 30, which was enough to take them to the top of the leaderboard.

Fans online also praised his efforts and have already crowned Irwin winner ahead of the finale next week, where he'll need to perform three routines.
