“Bindi, thank you for showing me the true meaning of taking whatever life throws at me and turning it into a positive!” she posted.
Hough told his young dance partner: “I’ve never seen anybody quite like you”. She and Hough consistently received high scores and eventually winning the mirror ball trophy. “I can’t believe that I’m here”, said Irwin.

On Instagram, Irwin captioned a picture of her victory, “I am speechless”.
“I have tried to just remember his strength knowing that dad is kind of still with me”.
Ahead of the show, Ms Irwin tweeted the last photo of her with her mum and dad before his death.
