Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation enjoyed looking at your dancing alongside
Robert Irwin's. He's in the American Dancing with the Stars
at the moment, and every week Jenna has been putting
your performances from when you're on Dancing with the Stars
thirteen years ago next to him. And it's funny that,
as she said, on our socials, the last one that
was put up, what was that the church hut? Everyone

(00:21):
said you'd really improved. What was interesting is, yes, she
put that up last week because that's when Robert did
the chart hut. But in fact that was your first dance,
which means you were getting progressively worse.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
My dance teacher said, you're like the Benjamin Button of dancing.
You're getting worse.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I remember when you first started practicing, you said, in
all sincerity, you sincerely said to me, it's going to
be hard because I look like a professional professional. Watch
you didn't specify there. Every week you said, I've turned
a corner a corner into hell.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Because the thing about it, though, you practice and practice.
So I spent nine weeks practicing that I didn't want.
I don't think i'd go any further. And then all
of a sudden. I had to make it up as
I went along.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Well, this week Robert her and it's dedication week, week five,
and he's dedicating his dance to his mum. I know
this because he hasn't done it yet's in a few
days time, but Bindio and took to socials to say,
my brother is dedicating his dance to our incredible mama,
raising us as a single parent so early on and
continuing your dad's extraordinary legacy. She's the strongest one I've

(01:26):
ever known. I can't wait for Robert's dance. It's going
to be so special. That's a very tight family. It'll
be a wonderful thing to see him dance.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Really, so I dedicated my one to my oldest son.
Did you when I got up to that one?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Right? What was that song when you.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Walk in the room, which was from Paul Carrick, you know,
and it was about and I had to lift up
my dance partner over my head and Helen Richie said,
it looked like I was in w W E wrestling.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
But not quite as strong your head.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I lifted her up a fair bit and she was
a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Of half to know she wasn't She's like Chiny.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
She had a bit to her.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
It can't all though, he can't all be you and Robert.
Other people are in this competition. Hilaria Baldwin, now Hilaria
Baldwin was actually born Hillary Baldwin, or she was born
Hillary in America. She's married to Alec Baldwin, the actor.
They have about one hundred million children. She's a yoga instructor.

(02:25):
She is there was some controversy in recent years because
she's saying that she's Spanish. Was in fact she was
born with the name Hillary. It's now Hilaria, and she
kind of I think one of her parents is half Spanish.
But she says she's moved between all these languages and
it can be tricky. She wanted a cooking show in
the US and struggled with some of the English we have.

(02:49):
How do you say in English? Or you should know
you've been born and raised.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yet and you're born in Boston.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
So she I saw on her socials that she was
taking her practice very seriously. She's a yoga instructor, so
she's got all the moves. I think she assumed she
was going to win. I'm ready between the lines. So anyway,
she was eliminated last week on Week four of Dancing
with the Stars, and a whole lot of interviews she
has done post leaving the show have been quite hilarious.

(03:14):
Her dancing partner, her instructor, what do you call them? Partner,
He's constantly giving the camera and her a little bit
of side eye as she's talking. You can see he's going,
oh my god, because she has claimed to say here
she's been in tears. Because the reason I'm sad is
because I'm so happy. I'm so happy. It's important to

(03:35):
remember sadness comes from missing something that was wonderful. And
yet she seems quite strangely emotional, a little bit vindictive
that she got out.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Have a listen, say to my twelve year olds, what
if they get voted off right away? And she said, Mommy,
at least you tried.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
At least you tried.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
I opened my heart. How can again? But forty one
I closed the door and dance on suck. You know,
opening it up has been beat Brad and I met

(04:20):
Alec when I was twenty seven, Right, the world has
been trying to beat you sense it did. No matter
what I do, it's not enough. Maybe I'll close the
door again.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, maybe you should. So you've closed opened the door
of my dancing I've been broken hearted. I'm closing it again.
People will beat me down. Sorry, you just got to
eliminade from a dancing show. It's like you're going.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
To be OK.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Could be worse. You could be in your husband's movie. Yeah,
that's take getting shot.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Latedly.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Just shoot me, No, no, no, don't
