Steve Irwin's Daughter to Host Wildlife Show

Good news for the Irwin family after a few tough months; Bindi Irwin, the eight year old daughter of late Steve Irwin, prepared to star in her own wildlife series for the Discovery Kids network. Bindi said she’s psyched for her new show, “Bindi, The Jungle Girl.”

"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."


The series originally called for Bindi and her father. Despite Papa Irwin’s death, the show will go on.

The show, now in the early stages of production, was originally "going to be a father-daughter thing," starring 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."

Irwin will appear with Bindi in scenes filmed before his death, his manager, John Stainton, said in an interview on People magazine's Web site.




Bindi and her mother, Terri Irwin.

Irwin will appear with Bindi in scenes filmed before his death...



What was the alternative? It's scary they have to state that because if they didn't clarify people would say "wait! he's not dead?!"

Bindi is a very strong little lady.

I hope that this turns out to be a healthy thing for her. I see too many ways in which it could turn into a psychological trap. My prayers are with the entire Irwin family.

That little girl is something; she's adorable and has personality enough for ten kids. Can't say anything bad about this one.

I saw some clips of her when she was about five on TV and she's a really funny kid, she's got her dad's TV skills as well as his talent with animals. She's one of the few kids of celebrities that could actually make a career for herself out of talent rather than fame. And of course it's always good for a show for kids to be presented by kids.
