Bindi Irwin has revealed Tamar Braxton wasn't the only Dancing with the Stars contestant fighting to get through Monday night's show due to sickness.

"He turned ghost-white," Irwin, 17, told People. "All the color washed away from his face, and I could tell he wasn't well."
Hough, 30, didn't need to be hospitalized like Braxton, who sought treatment for exhaustion and pneumonia, but he wasn't strong enough to even drive himself home following last night's Dancing with the Stars performance show.
"I've had two IVs this week with fluids and vitamins," Hough admitted. "Any time I get sick, I pump myself with vitamins. I've been doing hot and cold saunas and antibiotics and lots of water."
Hough might've been in bad shape, but it didn't show and he certainly kept the news under wraps. Hough and Irwin still earned a perfect score of 60 total points for their individual Viennese waltz and joint dance routine with Alexa PenaVega and Mark Ballas inspired by Chicago.
But Irwin said Hough had trouble getting through rehearsals all week.
"Honestly, every single day I wanted to say, 'Let's just lay down' because you could see the pain," Irwin said of her suffering partner.
"I don't know how he walked into that rehearsal room every day. I just wanted to take all his pain from him. His strength, dedication and determination was mind-blowing. He's the greatest person to be around."
Dancing with the Stars still has Irwin, Braxton, Carlos PenaVega, Nick Carter, and Alek Skarlatos in the running for the Season 21 title.
