"Bring your sister to work day," the caption reads.

"And realise she has no idea about TikTok trends," Bindi commented underneath the post. All four are grinning ear to ear in the snap.

"It was ten years ago that I competed on Dancing With The Stars in America, and I actually won, It was a life-changing experience," she said in the video.

"And now my little brother is going to be on the show, I can't wait to support him and cheer him on every week, and maybe lend him some advice here and there."
