What happened to Robert Irwin while he was preparing for the finale?

Irwin detailed some severe rib pain he’s dealt with while preparing for the finale episode. 

In a segment previewing Irwin and partner Witney Carson’s quick step dance, Irwin winced in pain and grabbed his rib cage.

“I’ve been dealing with rib pain because the intercostal muscles of the ribs are under a lot of tension,” Irwin said, adding that, “It’s been getting worse progressively.”

Carson shared her concern for Irwin’s health, saying, “This is where my motherly instincts come in. At the end of the day, his health is my priority.”
