Bindi Irwin stole hearts through Season 21 of “Dancing with the Stars,” so it was no surprise when the Crocodile Kid snapped up the mirror ball trophy Tuesday night.
The “DWTS” darling, 17, and partner Derek Hough performed one more perfect-scoring dance on the grand finale before hearing the news that they’d beat out Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and his partner Sharna Burgess, who finished second.
Train hero Alek Skarlatos and his partner Lindsay Arnold came in third place.
“You are the beacon of light and hope for everyone, every time you dance,” Carrie Ann Inaba gushed for the last time after Bindi’s explosive cha cha/Argentine tango fusion.
