Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

This week in the show, Bindi swapped her usual partner, Derek Hough, with Val Chmerkovskiy for “switch-up” week.

But the animal lover and Ukrainian dancer were soon moving in sync, dancing and impressing to the tune of Jess Glynne’s Hold My Hand Back.

“Regardless of who you dance with you are Bindi, and you are a ray of sunshine”, judge Julianne Hough said.

Slithering supporter! Bindi Irwin brought one of her slippery friends to rehearsal for Dancing With the Stars on Friday, October 9. It was also an emotional week for Chmerkovskiy’s official partner Braxton, who dedicated her performance to her husband.

Fan favorite Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Steve Irwin, celebrated the occasion with a special surprise for her new partner Val Chmerkovskiy, welcoming the Season 20 champ with a giant python in the rehearsal studio.
