Did Bindi Irwin Fart On DWTS? Winner Blames Mic Feedback
Did Bindi Irwin fart on live television? That appears to be what many people believe, after a suspicious sound was broadcast during a hug the Dancing With The Stars winner shared with her partner Derek Hough. The Daily Mail reports that the daughter of the late Steve Irwin has denied accusations that she “broke wind” on DWTS.
The mysterious sound that has people talking was aired during a tight hug between Irwin and Hough, and lasted a couple of seconds. This has people on social media claiming that she had a bout of flatulence on live television. Radio shows in Australia even paid attention to the viral sound, and have discussed it at length.

Of course, the young celeb has hit back publicly at claims that she farted, and she is blaming the microphone for the strange sound that emitted from her and Derek Hough during their DWTS hug.
“No. That was the mic, actually. If a mic could actually pick that kind of thing up, that’s an extraordinary mic. But nope, not me.”
Irwin has also hit back at concerns that she may not get paid for her contribution to Dancing With The Stars. TMZ tracked down the 17-year-old winner at LAX airport where she addressed the situation involving her winnings. Even though a judge hasn’t approved the contract for her to claim the award — which is more than $300,000 — she is confident that she’ll get it. She also doesn’t intend on pocketing any of that money for herself. The conservationist intends on pouring her money into the causes that she supports as the daughter of the legendary Steve Irwin. She also added that she will have to go through two tax officials in order to deal with her winnings. Also, she claims that she did not fart while on a live airing of DWTS.
This is not the first time a Dancing With The Stars contestant has been accused of farting live on the show. HLN crime show host Nancy Grace contributed to a season of the hit show, not long after the acquittal of Casey Anthony. During a live broadcast of the show, a strange noise appeared to emit from Grace, which sparked viral rumors that she had let loose a loud fart.

The fart heard round the world attracted a mess of social media jabs at the HLN host, many of which have continued years after the incident. So did Nancy Grace fart on DWTS? She claimed that she did not, but did blame the noxious incident on her dancing partner, Tristan MacManus. The viral incident also attracted the attention of a fetish group who wanted to purchase rights to the clip from the ABC Network.
It’s hard to tell whether or not either of these DWTS contestants farted on live television, but the viral attention surrounding it is indicative of what people believe. Do you think Bindi Irwin farted during her hug with dancing partner Derek Hough? Or do you think she is right about it being a sound made by her microphone? If it was indeed a microphone feedback issue, then maybe Nancy Grace never actually broke wind on television either?
