After winning the mirror ball trophy last season with celebrity partner actress Rumer Willis, Val has lived up to his older brother, Maksim's legacy.

The break is well-deserved for Val as he excelled for the Switch Up week on DWTS with partner Bindi Irwin on Monday.

Val was anxious to meet his new partner as he confessed, 'Last week Bindi probably performed the dance of the season. I mean she got the first 10, this week I think there's a huge responsibility to continue her momentum.'

The duo paired up and danced the cha cha to Hold My Hand which was a much more playful and upbeat routine than her last week's emotional performance with Derek Hough.

'It's definitely the hardest cha cha I've ever done on the show, but it's a huge risk,' he admitted to Bindi. 

During rehearsals with Irwin, Val tried to encourage his 17-year-old partner.

'You're not a baby eagle anymore, you're soaring, so I want to see you soar,' he told her. 'It's my first animal metaphor ever.'

Val's older brother, Maksim Chmerkovskiy was a guest judge on Monday's show and praised Val and Bindi on their performance.

'I loved it, it was the dance of the night for me for sure,' he proudly boasted.

While the couple didn't receive the highest score of the night, Val's proud big brother gave the performance a perfect 10.
