What a trooper! Bindi Irwin keeps her injured ankle wrapped up as she leaves Dancing With The Stars studios following a day of rehearsals
She recently suffered a foot injury while performing a Dancing With The Stars routine on Saturday, but that hasn't dampened bubbly Bindi Irwin's spirits.
Known for her can-do attitude, the injured 17-year-old was ever exuberant on Sunday as she departed the Dancing With The Stars rehearsal studio in Hollywood with her boyfriend, Chandler Powell, 18.
With her man in tow, the animal welfare activist looked casual wearing a navy blue t-shirt emblazoned with the image of a giraffe, a pair of leggings, some khaki Converse sneakers and a small bandage on her injured right ankle.

Bindi and her thrill-seeking boyfriend first met when he arrived at Australia Zoo as he holidayed with his family.
The animal lover decided to help show him round, and it seems the pair hit it off immediately.
In a recent interview with US Weekly, she revealed that: 'he tracked me down through the zoo and was like "If she doesn't want to stay in contact that's totally fine, but here's my email'.

'We stayed in touch and became great friends. I can't really say when it turned into more. It just evolved over time and bloomed into this wonderful thing,' she added.

She and Derek shared a heartwarming on-screen moment in a recent episode after the pair performed a tango to AC/DC's hit You Shook Me All Night Long.
On the verge of tears, Bindi said that: 'I remember when I was really little, dancing to that song with dad. It means everything to me.'
