Bindi Irwin reacts to brother Robert's viral underwear photoshoot: 'I can't unsee it...'
Bindi Irwin "can't unsee" her brother Robert's underwear shoot. The 26-year-old conservationist - who is the daughter of late Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin - recently had to endure her brother Robert, 21, stripping down to his boxers for a promotional deal with Bonds as well as appearing shirtless in his Dancing with the Stars announcement and has found it "rough" to see the whole thing go viral. Speaking on the 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast, she told host Kylie Kelce: "There are some things as his sister that I can't just unsee. "When he did the Dancing announcement, he was shirtless, and when he did his Bonds commercial, he was just in his underwear,r and it is…it is rough." Despite her embarrassment over her brother's sudden sex appeal, she "really is so proud of him" because of how he is managing to get their message of conservation out there, what she is choosing to focus on. She said: I really am so proud of him. He's taking the message of conservation to new heights. He's really nailing the, 'Hey look over here,' and steering them in the right direction. "I was probably liking and commenting on his 'steering in the other direction' posts. Rather than his um... "Watching him grab people's attention in such a big way. 'And then pivot and say, 'Here's what we do, here's our work, here's our dedication to wildlife and conservation and you can get involved.' It is wonderful and extraordinary to watch him shine.' The Crikey It's The Irwins star is "a little bit scared" of some of her brother's female fans but still thinks her brother is "doing really well" with how he is coping with all of the sudden attention on his body. She said: "Do I get a little bit scared of the women and girls and some guys who are very intense? It can be a lot! But he's doing really well with all of it and I am very proud of him." Robert recently explained that his new campaign may seem "out of the ordinary", he is appreciative of the "platform" he has so that he can continue to get the message about conversation out into the world. He said: "It seems so out of the ordinary for what I would do, but I get to be with Aussie Wildlife, I get to approach a new audience, a new platform, and get my wildlife conservation message out there to more people. And that is what means so much to me and my family. "I'm representing Australia! So I wanted to look my best and to feel my best and just feel really confident. And so I've done more sit-ups and had less carbs than I ever have in my life, but it's been fun.. "At Australia Zoo, our beautiful wildlife sanctuary, it's great, I've got about 700 acres to just run. So I've been doing a lot of sprints, a lot of hill sprints. "My brother-in-law Chandler, he's a professional athlete so he gave me a lot of great tips. And my mom actually did bodybuilding! She had more biceps then than I'll ever have."

Robert Irwin, son of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, named as first celebrity for Dancing With The Stars 2025
Robert Irwin is "over the moon" that his "dream" of being on Dancing With The Stars has become a "reality". The 21-year-old conservationist has said it is an "honour" and a "privilege" to have been asked to take part in the 34th season of the hit reality show because seeing his sister Bindi – who won the competition in 2015 – dance with her pro partner Derek Hough in the ballroom at age 11 made him want to do it. Asked by Hough – who now serves as a judge on the show – how he feels to be taking part, Irwin said: "I cannot tell you what an honour, what a privilege it is to be joining this season. "I remember being a little 11-year-old – little 11-year-old Robert about this big with a little bowl cut, you remember that! And watching you and Bindi just having the most incredible time, lighting up the dance floor, I just thought, 'One day that's going to be me.' "I had these little dreams going, 'One day!' And now that dream is a reality, and I am over the moon, let's do this!" The son of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin is the first celebrity to be confirmed as a cast member on the 2025 show, with the rest being announced at a later date. Although no premiere date has been confirmed for season 34, Dancing With The Stars normally starts airing in mid-September. It is not the first time Robert Irwin will be dabbling in reality TV as he has already had his fair share of the genre in the past, including starring in the Irwins' Australian Zoo documentary series, Crikey! It's The Irwins from 2018 until 2022, and more recently, co-hosting the 2024 series of the Australian version of I'm A Me Out Of Here!' with Julia Morris.
