It was a well-deserved win.
Bindi Irwin and her dance partner, Derek Hough emerged victorious on last night’s Dancing With The Stars, something Irwin will not soon forget.
“I am so speechless right now! I can’t believe it!” Irwin told Us Magazine when the showed ended. “The glitter all over the floor may be from my mind just exploding into glitter!
“I am so honored and so blessed to be here. And this entire experience has felt like the most beautiful gift.
Talk turned to Irwin’s late father, Steve, who died in 2006.
“I couldn’t even imagine if Dad was here right now!
“Honestly, I hope that he’d be proud of me and I hope that I’m able to carry on in his footsteps and make sure that his legacy lives on, because his strength is what keeps me going.
“And life is filled with so many challenges and beautiful moments and to be able to share them with my family and to be able to share them with the ones that you love the most, that’s what’s the most important thing in life.”
Irwin took to Instagram after her win, and summed up her experience on the competition.
“I am speechless,” Iriwin wrote. This is a gift and I can’t tell you how much love I have for all of your support throughout this beautiful journey. My life has been changed.”
