The show must go on! Bindi Irwin soldiers on with Dancing With The Stars rehearsals after injuring foot... as she prepares for 'emotional' performance
She revealed an injured foot earlier this week, hobbling out of rehearsals with Derek Hough wearing a pained expression.
But Bindi Irwin was back in the rehearsal studio on Friday, determined not to let the mishap slow her down as she prepared for another performance on Dancing With The Stars.
Sporting a tight white bandage on her right ankle, the 17-year-old carried her shoes to the car after yet another gruelling session.

Wearing her brunette locks in a side-braid, Bindi shunned make-up for the rigorous rehearsal.
She sported her favourite black leggings, pairing them with a matching t-shirt.
Bindi has hinted that this week's performance will be among the most emotional yet, telling Instagram followers: 'This week is going to be an emotional journey on @dancingabc but I'm so ready to share it with you.

'Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.'
The teenager's boyfriend has jetted to the US to lend his support, with the pair posing for a loved-up snap.
'He's here,' Bindi gushed, uploading the black and white photograph of the couple.
In love: Bindi has been joined by her boyfriend Chandler Powell, uploading this image of the pair upon his arrival
'Thank you for always making me laugh, helping me to ice my foot when it hurts, making me tea and hugging me when I'm tired.
'You're amazing,' she said of Chandler Powell, her curly-haired beau.
The pair have been together for some time and have a mutual love of animals, with Chandler, a wakeboarder, sharing snaps of himself at Australia Zoo online.
Gushing over his pretty girlfriend on her 17th birthday, he said earlier this year: 'Happy Birthday to this gorgeous girl! Feel very blessed to have you in my life. 'Counting down the days until I get to see you again!'
