Derek Hough is Introduced

to His Cuddly Namesake!

– 12/10/15

Derek Hough ... the koala

DWTS Professional and 6-time Mirror Ball Champion, Derek Hough, has FINALLY been introduced to his adorable, furry Namesake, Derek Hough the Koala, much to the delight of Fans everywhere!

Derek, meet Derek!

“This is your Namesake!” exclaimed an excited Bindi Irwin to her Pro partner, according to yahoo.com, as Derek sweetly held the little creature.

Derek and Derek ... together at last!

Naturally, upon meeting the already famous, too-cute Joey, Derek duly sent out the long awaited photo, via Instagram, which showcases the smiling Dancing Hough cradling the pint-sized, Furry Hough in a perfectly captured, “Awww!”-inspiring moment!

Awwwww!

Clearly smitten, Derek captioned the photo, “Finally got to meet Derek Hough the Koala. Don’t tell anyone, but I’m stealing him and bringing him home with me.”

“It’s one of the coolest things that’s ever happened,” the Dancer has also noted. “To have an animal named after you is amazing.”  Derek has, of course, been openly celebrating his most recent Win by way of a self-awarded, Solo Vacationing Treat that has included some much needed down time in the always beautiful Hawaii, where the 2-time Emmy winner took the opportunity to Free Swim with Sharks, and a highly publicized visit to the land Down Under, where he is currently enjoying being given the full tour of the World-famous Australia Zoo by his close friend and subject of his visit, Season 21’s Celebrity Mirror Ball Champion, Bindi!

Derek Hough visits Australia Zoo!

Derek Hough looking (just slightly) nervous
about holding this rather large python.

“Meeting so many incredible animals up close and personal thanks to my awesome tour guide @bindisueirwin. …” Hough happily announced on Social Media.

Derek meets an echidna ...

... and a cheeteah!  Cool! ...

... And this crocodile.  Careful Derek!

Seemingly loving every minute of his “Outback” experience,

Derek and Tiger and Bindi...Oh my!
...Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

Derek has also recently remarked of his time spent in Australia with his former partner, whom he has affectionately dubbed as being his “Little Bindi”, “It has been awesome to get to know somebody, to get to work with them and to become friends and then to see where she grew up. This is her home, this is her passion and it is cool to see first hand.”

Derek meeting even more of Australia zoo's
Reptilian Residents!

Bindi has been equally enthusiastic concerning Derek’s Down Under visit, as was nicely expressed during an interview, according to designntrend.com, when she addressed her Dance Instructor directly, saying, “I miss you the most. It was a long time and then all of a sudden you get home and you’re like, ‘My big brother isn’t here anymore.’ It was really quite strange for me.”

Irwin may have additionally hinted at some fast-approaching, up and coming opportunities to cross paths with her beloved bro in a, once again, more glamorous venue, when she dished according to yahoo.com, “We have a few projects all over the place on the horizon, so I’m excited about that and we’ll see where life takes me,”

Whatever the case, it seems more than plain that DWTS’ endeared Dynamite Duo and reigning Mirror Ball Champs have exited the Ballroom with more than a glittering Trophy in hand, but a tightly-knit and lasting friendship as well!

Team Crikey, together again!
