Bindi Irwin Wins 'DWTS': Derek Hough's Partner Talks About What She Won't Miss
All hail to the new queen of the ballroom. Bindi Irwin might have just taken home the mirror ball trophy on the latest season finale of Dancing With the Stars, but the daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter star, Steven Irwin, is saying that there is one thing that she won't be missing about twirling around the dance floor. The star's beautiful dance moves and amazing personality led her and partner Derek Hough to the top spot on the reality series this year, but while she might have had the best time of her life on the show, she does say that she can't wait to give her feet some time off.
According to People, the 17-year-old winner explained that she is hoping to put her feet up now that she is done with the competition.
"My feet are pretty cut up right now," the star explained to the news site. "[DWTS] is such a special experience that you don't really think about all the bruises and the skin coming off of your feet like a flesh-eating disease. There have been some interesting moments, for sure."
She also explained to ET that she felt like her feet looked "like The Walking Dead, it looks like a flesh eating disease."
So what does the star plan on doing to follow up her amazing win? She says that she can't wait to be back in her own environment doing what she loves.
"I'm excited to get back into my khakis and be with the animals again," the star said.
Bindi also plans on taking some college courses and working with animals at the zoo now that she is done with the reality series, according to USA TODAY.
In related news, fans of Dancing With the Stars don't need to worry about being without the series for very long, as ABC already announced a premiere date for the 22nd season of the franchise.
