Bindi Irwin to Star in Wildlife Show
Discovery Kids show to feature father-daughter scenes shot before Steve Irwin's death
Bindi Irwin, the daughter of the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, will have her own wildlife series on the Discovery Kids channel early next year tentatively titled, "Bindi, Jungle Girl."
The show, already in production, was going to be a "father-daughter thing" featuring the nature loving duo, Discovery publicist Annie Howell told the Associated Press on Monday.
"Steve and Bindi were very enthusiastic about doing the show together," she told the wire service.
In an interview with "People" magazine, John Stainton, Steve Irwin's manger, said Bindi will appear with her father in scenes filmed before his death.
The "Crocodile Hunter" died last month after a sting-ray barb pierced his heart while he was filming a scene for his show.
"Some people think that I would be afraid of them, but I'm never ever afraid of an animal," Bindi said in an interview Monday on ABC's "Australian Story."
"I just get excited and some that are dangerous I just think, 'Oooh! What's going to happen?' and things like that."
