Bindi Irwin chose 2006 - the year which her father Steve Irwin passed away - to dance to.

'It’s been nine years and I’ve never really dwelled on that point when he did pass away,' revealed the 17-year-old.

'I think that I’m ready to kind of tell that story.'

The pint-sized teen danced to Every Breath You Take with her partner Derek Hough after rehearsing together all week.

'This dance is for my dad, and for my family, and for everyone back at home, but for my dad,' Bindi said tearily.

'This is for him.'
