Derek flew to Australia to visit Bindi at the zoo who showed him the exotic creatures, including a rhino, a limo and a kangaroo.

'So happy to get to introduce you to our world here in Australia! You are officially a Wildlife Warrior. Bring on the adventure! @derekhough,' gushed Bindi alongside a photo of the pair wearing matching khaki shorts.

The pair grew close over the months they spent rehearsing together for DWTS, and Bindi even named a koala after Derek!

'You're the greatest big brother I could ever ask for. You've changed my life and I promise to keep trying my hardest to truly help show the world what incredible dances you create. Thank you for inspiring me each day,' the 17-year-old wrote in tribute post to the veteran dancer.
