Bindi Irwin has denied rumours she has fallen for her Dancing with the Stars partner Derek Hough.
Reports Bindi, 17, had ended her relationship with 19-year-old wakeboarder Chandler Powell so she could pursue a romance with Derek, 30, first surfaced last week, leading Australia Zoo to make a statement denying the claim.
“It’s completely untrue,” a spokesman told the Daily Mail. “Chandler is still Bindi’s boyfriend and Derek is very much a friend who left Australia last week to head home after spending a couple of days checking out Australia Zoo.”
