Bindi Commemorates Father’s Death By Doing What He Loved, Live On TV

The Irwin tribe continue to make their very private grief very public, with the announcement that Bindi Irwin (cause of one of our favourite pieces of graffiti ever, “Bindi Irwin scares the shit out of me”) will host a saccharine television memorial regarding Steve, on the one-year anniversary of his death.

Bindi, nine, will host My Daddy The Crocodile Hunter on September 1, airing unseen home videos and talking about her unique childhood with the world famous showman and wildlife campaigner.

Are we the only ones who feel distinctly uncomfortable about all this? We still get the feeling, as we always have, that Terri Irwin would be perfectly happy living – and grieving – away from the cameras; is this all some kind of “it’s what Steve would’ve wanted?” act of nobility? If so, she can be as brave and noble as she wants, provided she also keeps Bindi off our screens!
