Steve Irwin’s teenage daughter is heading for reality TV fame
The daughter of the much-loved Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, Bindi, is someone which we apparently all need in our lives.
So says her dance partner for the reality competition Dancing With The Stars. 17-year old Bindi has been paired up with 30-year old dancer Derek Hough.
Derek who is preparing to compete in his sixteenth season of the competition told People magazine: “She's a breath of fresh air. We all need a little Bindi in our life. Seriously.”
He has credited the teenager and her positive outlook on life with invigorating him for their competition.
“I'm in this space right now where I'm super pumped on life right now. I feel connected. I feel great. And then she walks in my life. You don't understand what positive energy she is.”
He said he found her lifelong commitment to conservation work something that gives her a certain spark.
“I was thinking maybe it's because she's connected to nature and the animals or something. And if you're that connected, you feel whole I guess.”
Bindi meanwhile has admitted that she think dancing in front of a panel of celebrity judges with be “more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile.”
Saying that crocodiles are what she has worked with her whole life, she says dancing will be nerve wracking as she’s “never danced before in my life.”
She certainly seems to have won her partner over regardless as he told the press “I love her. She’s amazing.”
