Derek Hough

The daughter of the much-loved Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, Bindi, is someone which we apparently all need in our lives.

So says her dance partner for the reality competition Dancing With The Stars. 17-year old Bindi has been paired up with 30-year old dancer Derek Hough.

Derek who is preparing to compete in his sixteenth season of the competition told People magazine: “She's a breath of fresh air. We all need a little Bindi in our life. Seriously.”

He has credited the teenager and her positive outlook on life with invigorating him for their competition.

“I'm in this space right now where I'm super pumped on life right now. I feel connected. I feel great. And then she walks in my life. You don't understand what positive energy she is.”

He said he found her lifelong commitment to conservation work something that gives her a certain spark.

“I was thinking maybe it's because she's connected to nature and the animals or something. And if you're that connected, you feel whole I guess.”

Bindi meanwhile has admitted that she think dancing in front of a panel of celebrity judges with be “more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile.”

Saying that crocodiles are what she has worked with her whole life, she says dancing will be nerve wracking as she’s “never danced before in my life.”

She certainly seems to have won her partner over regardless as he told the press “I love her. She’s amazing.”

It is with very heavy hearts we can reveal Oscar-nominated actress Kate Hudson and Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy have called time on their three-year engagement.

The couple who began dating four years ago became engaged in 2011 and welcomed their son Bingham Hawn Bellamy that same year, but the romance is officially over with Kate seeking comfort from none other than Cheryl Fernandez Versini’s ex-‘something’, Derek Hough. Interesting!

Speaking in the past about her and Matthew’s long engagement, the stunning 35-year-old was unconcerned about the apparent delay, saying; “I’m planning nothing right now. I’m so busy, we’ve been so busy and it’s been great.”

Kate, who was married once before and has a ten-year-old son, Ryder, from the relationship, wasn’t in a rush to head back up the aisle, saying: “My parents aren’t married. And one of the reasons why they never got married is because they had been married before and they liked it the way it was.”

Despite the split, Kate and Matthew are, according to a source, "close friends and committed co-parents.” Kate seems keen to move on, however, and The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star has been spotted out and about with Derek Hough, eating, drinking and staying past closing in top LA restaurants.

Kate mentioned Derek as far back as last year when she said she had been ballroom dancing with him and that ‘it’s been a real blast!”

Should we have seen this coming?
