Terri Irwin LEFT OUT?! Her Jaw-Dropping Absence From Robert’s DWTS Spin-Off Launch Sparks INSANE ‘Ban’ Speculation – You Won’t BELIEVE What Sources Are Saying!
Terri Irwin was nowhere to be seen when her son Robert Irwin launched his new Dancing With The Stars TV spin-off last month in Los Angeles.
And now there is talk that the 61-year-old is feeling ‘unwanted’ after Robert filmed the dance competition without his mum at his side.
Terri built a reputation as a ‘helicopter mum’ after staying close to Robert behind the scenes as her beloved son filmed the last two seasons as co-host of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
But sources with knowledge of Robert’s production told Daily Mail recently that Terri did not even make it to the set for a one-off visit.
This is fuelling speculation that Terri may have been ‘banned’ from attending the filming of Dancing With The Stars: The Next Pro, according to the latest edition of New Idea.
Meanwhile, Terri confirmed she was at home in Australia while Robert basked in the limelight at the high-profile TV event in the US.

Sharing a post to Instagram, Terri uploaded a photo of herself posing with daughter Bindi Irwin, granddaughter Grace Warrior and son-in-law Chandler Powell.
The heartwarming family moment was captured at the Mary Valley Rattler, a famed tourist destination in Gympie, Queensland.
Elsewhere, New Idea reports that Kris Jenner wants a role in boosting Robert’s career.
‘Kris is desperate to mentor Robert,’ the source told the publication.
Robert appeared alongside his DWTS US dance partner, Witney Carson, at Hulu’s Get Real event.
Witney also co-stars in the new Disney/BBC show, which features hopefuls trying out for a role on DWTS as a ‘pro’ dancer. All the cast members are based in the US.
It comes after Terri was seen dutifully cheering her boy on to victory as he filmed Dancing With The Stars US last year, which Robert won with Witney.
Still, exclusive sources told the Daily Mail that production personnel ‘heard nothing’ about Terri stopping by the set of Robert’s new show.

And even though some of the series was filmed at the Irwin family’s Australia Zoo, it is understood that Terri did not feature in any scenes shot there.
Another source, who was unfamiliar with the footage filmed, added that the show will remain in post-production for several weeks.
‘There is a chance that Terri might have filmed a cameo [secretly], but that is unlikely,’ they said.
Terri’s absence has ‘definitely been noticed’, one source close to the production told Daily Mail last month.
‘Terri hasn’t been around during filming at all,’ the insider added. ‘It’s quite a change from what people are used to.’
A different insider added that producers are banking on Robert’s star power to lure viewers and say that he is prominently featured throughout the show.
‘Robert has become incredibly popular with American audiences,’ the source added, claiming it was Robert himself who pitched the idea for the show.
Still, Daily Mail understands that Robert only signed off as host shortly before filming began in March.
The show wrapped shooting in April and post-production is expected to continue for several more weeks.
