'Dancing With the Stars' Cast: Bindi Irwin Reveals The Extent Of Her Injuries And How Her Boyfriend Has Reacted
Bindi Irwin is pushing through the pain on ABC's Dancing With the Stars - and the pain ain't pretty.
Irwin showed off the many blisters on her feet in the rehearsal package before her dance on the latest episode of Dancing With the Stars. While her partner Derek Hough was concerned, Irwin essentially brushed it off while continuing to practice and practice.
Luckily, Irwin has the support of her boyfriend, Chandler Powell, who has helped take care of her mangled feet.
Was Derek Hough Freaked Out By Bindi Irwin's Latest 'Dancing With the Stars' Performance?
"He was the only one before tonight who had ever really seen my feet, except for my mom, and the poor dear, he was having to help me Super Glue them and bandage them," Irwin told FOX411 recently, of Powell. "It was extreme dedication. Lucky he's into wakeboarding! He has injuries, too."
She further explained the extent of her problems:
"There's like holes -- the skin rubs out so there's actual craters in my feet. Every night I'm kind of like cutting all the skin off 'cause it catches. You know when you get a hangnail? Think about tearing a hangnail but dancing on top of it," she said.
Meanwhile, Irwin's brother, Robert Irwin, 11, has apparently been practicing some of his big sister's moves. So is he destined to follow in Bindi's footsteps and do Dancing With the Stars?
"Who knows in the future? He'd be so good at it. He's hilarious," Bindi said, of her brother doing the show. "I'll bring home videos and I'll show him what I'm doing. He tries [to copy the moves] with my boyfriend. They were doing the lift in the pool trying to be like [me and Derek]. It took them about two hours but they ended up getting it and Robert said, 'My hips are so sore. How do you do this?'"
Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
