Bindi Irwin And Derek Hough Crowned The Winners Of ‘DWTS’

Bindi Irwin was named the victor of Dancing with the Star’s 21st season Tuesday night.

The winning duo earned yet another ideal score from the judges for their final routine, delivering one of the best performances of the entire season.

In their last performance in “Dancing With The Stars”, a photo of Bindi and her father was shown while they were dancing, which moved the audience and the judges to tears.

Bindi and Derek performed the Viennese waltz on “Something on my Mind”, a repeat of their Week 8 routine.

After night two of the big finale, Irwin took to Twitter to thank her fans for their support, posting a photo of her win and writing, “I am speechless. I can’t believe that I’m here”, Irwin said.

The 17-year-old has been a front-runner all season and had to battle Backstreet Boys Nick Carter in the finale. She is competing against Oregon Army National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos and singer Nick Carter for the mirror ball trophy.

Steve – nicknamed the Crocodile Hunter – died in 2006 aged just 44 when a stingray struck its barb into his heart while he was filming his daughter’s show ‘Bindi the Jungle Girl’.

Alek Skarlatos came in third but apparently can’t stop, won’t stop: He’s hitting the road with the Dancing with the Stars Live!

She added, “His strength is what keeps me going”.

But first and foremost, the whole “life-changing” experience was about honouring her beloved dad.

“Not only have I learned about the world of sequins and sparkles and high heels, but to be blessed with this lovely family, I feel like my family has just been extended, even more than animals!” she joked about her co-stars.
