ABC's Dancing With The Stars is slowly beginning to reveal its season 21 cast on Good Morning America, and the first to be announced is none other than the Crocodile Hunter's daughter, Bindi Irwin.

Irwin, 17, appeared on her father Steve Irwin's TV show, The Crocodile Hunter, and later went on to appear in her own series, Bindi the Jungle Girl. She's also starred in films including Return to Nim's Island and Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove.

"I'm really, really excited and so honored to be a part of this new journey and new chapter in my life," she said on GMA. "I have to tell you, this is completely different to anything I have ever done in my life. I'm used to wrangling crocodiles!"

Bindi Irwin currently lives with her mother Terri Irwin and brother Robert at the Australia Zoo, but she'll relocate to Los Angeles for DWTS.

Bindi's famous father Steve Irwin passed away September 4, 2006, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming the documentary Ocean's Deadliest.

I can already tell this is going to be a season full of tears! Bindi is absolutely going to steal the show. I have no doubt that her father will be watching over her throughout the season and is so incredibly proud of his baby girl's accomplishments!
