'Dancing With the Stars': Derek Hough Compares Bindi Irwin's Feet To 'A Flesh-Eating Monster'
Derek Hough may love his Dancing With the Stars partner Bindi Irwin, but one thing he does not love is her feet - or at least what her feet have become.
Why Was 'DWTS' Pro Derek Hough So 'Grumpy' This Past Week?
Irwin and Hough made it all the way to finale week on Dancing With the Stars through hard work, personality and votes from America. But with hard work often comes consequences on your body. Such is the case for Irwin, who has actually done a lot of damage to her feet over the course of the season.
This was first shown in a rehearsal segment a few weeks back, but the feet issue apparently still hasn't cleared up.
Derek Hough Says 'DWTS' Partner Bindi Irwin Brings His Steps 'To Life'
Hough wrote about it in his latest TVGuide.com blog about Irwin being "the full package" yet made the exception for her feet.
"You do not wanna look at those things," he warned. "So last week, Mark [Ballas] came in and told me he got some glass in his foot and he wasn't sure if he could still do the trio. I said, 'OK,' and we walked into the studio and Bindi runs up to us, waving her phone, going, 'Look at these pictures of my feet from last night.' We both almost threw up on the spot. They were like a flesh-eating monster. It was something straight out of The Walking Dead. I get nauseous just thinking about them! And of course, she was her usual, cheery self, like, 'It's not a big deal. I'm fine.'"
Luckily Irwin only has to dance through Tuesday, which is the day of the Dancing With the Stars finale!
Irwin and Hough will be dancing a freestyle and a judges redo for Monday as they hope to make it to the top 3. Their competitors include Nick Carter & Sharna Burgess, Carlos PenaVega & Witney Carson and Alek Skarlatos & Lindsay Arnold.
Dancing With the Stars airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. The finale airs the following day at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
