A JUDGE has allowed Bindi Irwin to receive her Dancing with the Stars cheque despite issues about being a minor.

TMZ reported that the money supposed to be given to the Wildlife Warrior was withheld after the court sought proof that her late father Steve Irwin had given up all rights to her earnings.

Despite Bindi’s mother, Terri Irwin, signing the forms, the court had been stipulating a need for either Steve Irwin’s signature or his death certificate.

The Crocodile Hunter star died in 2006 after being attacked by a stingray while snorkelling near Queensland, Australia.
