Bindi Irwin is remembered as the adorable little girl who appeared on dad Steve's The Crocodile Hunter series from the tender age of two.
And now the 17-year-old is creating a name for herself, competing on US talent show Dancing With The Stars.
Talking exclusively to Us Weekly, following her sizzling first appearance last night, the Australian wildlife conservationist admitted she was on the verge of tears afterwards.
"It was all I could do not to cry!
"We came off stage and I couldn't stop shaking. The audience, the support and love was overwhelming. I'm just blessed beyond words. My family (mum Terri and 11-year-old Bob) was here watching."
But Bindi admits carrying on her father's legacy hasn't been easy, admitting:
"I think that people always say when people pass away that time heals all wounds. And that's probably the biggest lie, it's not true. I think we all need to remember that it is always still tough and it's like losing a piece of your heart."
