Bindi Irwin breaks down after emotional tribute to late father on Dancing With The Stars

Bindi Irwin had Dancing With The Stars viewers reaching for the tissues with an emotional tribute to her late father.

The 17-year-old was overcome with emotion after dedicating her "Most Memorable Year"-themed dance to her dad, recalling his tragic death in 2006.

“The Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin died during filming after he was stabbed in the chest by a barb from a stingray.

At the end of her contemporary dance to The Police's “Every Breath You Take”, Bindi bawled in dancer Derek Hough's arms.

Bindi's mother Terri and 11-year-old brother Robert also wiped away the tears, especially after Bindi's admission that she still feels like her dad "is going to come home".

The Aussie star scored a huge 28 out of 30, including the only 10 of the night.
