"I've never had a Coca-Cola before," Bindi told ET.

"[My] mum always tried to limit us on soft drinks and things like that, [but] I think that now I'm allowed to have a Coca-Cola. I think?"

The Dancing With The Stars champion also revealed she'll be spending her milestone birthday with her family and her boyfriend, Chandler Powell.

"I will be celebrating with my lovely little family and I'll probably play some board games, and you know, have a nice cup of tea. I might go crazy and wild and have three cups of tea that night. I'm feeling rebellious!"

The wildlife warrior says her birthday is always a bittersweet time because of the absence of her late father, Steve Irwin.

"I can feel that he's not here anymore on most of the days that are really big for our family," she shared. "On days like birthdays, Christmases, it's really a tough time because he's not here."

She added: "It's sad because you want him to be right next to you and experiencing all these milestones, but I truly believe that, in some way, he is still with us."

Bindi's father, Steve Irwin, passed away in 2006, but she has continued on his conservationist legacy alongside her mum, Terri, and younger brother Robert.
