Bindi Irwin gets a perfect score on Dancing With The Stars


Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough gained top marks in their latest dance in which they performed to Dirty Dancing track Time Of My Life.

Each judge gave the stars a mark of 10, giving Bindi a perfect score of 40.

Funnily enough, Hough won DWTS with his then-partner, Jennifer Grey, who starred in the iconic 1987 flick alongside Patrick Swayze.

The actress, now 55, even stopped by Bindi and Derek's rehearsal to offer some handy tips for the lift.

"Baby's 17 in the movie and so is Bindi. Baby wants to change the world. That's Bindi. Even Bindi's laughs when she gets goofy are so Jennifer. She's my Baby Bindi,” Hough wrote in his TVguide blog.

Hours earlier Bindi Irwin posted an Instagram photo of her and her partner Derek Hough recreating the infamous dance sequence from Dirty Dancing.

The teen captioned the picture: 'Getting ready for tonight's show on @dancingabc, I still can't believe I've been given this opportunity. This lift gives you a little idea on what we have planned for tonight....'

The 17-year-old spoke to ET about how she looked up to Dirty Dancing's Jennifer Grey.

'She's such an inspiration,' Bindi revealed.

'She played Baby, and she was this girl who really wanted to change the world, and help other people. So I watched it went, 'Ah! This is my story!''

Derek also shared a photo of them during rehearsals, wriitng: 'What an honor to pay homage to this iconic dance film. "Nobody puts Bindi in the corner." #teamcrikey #timeofmylife @bindisueirwin.'
