IRWIN SECRETS EXPOSED...

BINDI BREAKS DOWN OVER SHOCK CLAIMS

- Steve’s cameraman!

Sixteen years have passed since Steve Irwin tragically died at sea, and in this time his family members have worked relentlessly to ensure his legacy as a wildlife warrior lives on.

His widow Terri, 58, and now-adult children Bindi, 24, and Robert, 18, desperately cling to his memory through shrines dotted around their beloved Australia Zoo. Frequent social media tributes also paint Steve as an all-round action hero and loving dad.

Recently, however, an interview given by Steve’s former right-hand man threatened to shatter the very image and memory his kids have built for him.

Justin Lyons, a camerman who worked alongside Steve for more than 10 years until his death, has spilled family secrets that remained under an emotional lock and key – until now.
