Steve Irwin’s son has made a brave admission about walking his sister Bindi Irwin down the aisle on her wedding day as she’s set to marry beau Chandler Powell later this year.
Robert Irwin, 16, discussed taking on his late father’s role of walking his older sister down the aisle, saying he was “nervous” ahead of the big day.
Steve Irwin tragically died back in 2006 when a stingray barb pierced his heart while he was filming a wildlife documentary in Batt Reef, Queensland.
The teenage animal lover reportedly told Access Hollywood he was feeling apprehensive about stepping into The Crocodile Hunter’s shoes.

He said in the video that it “meant everything” when Bindi, 21, asked him to walk her down the aisle – a role that is traditionally given to the father of the bride.
Looking at his sister, he said: “It was just so sweet of you to think of me to do that… I’m nervous, I’m not going to lie. There’s a lot of pressure!
“But I love Bindi and Chandler so much and together I know they’ll achieve so much.”

Bindi and Chandler announced their engagement last year, and revealed they were going to get hitched at Australia Zoo.
Steve Irwin’s daughter said to Good Morning America last year that a koala would walk her down the aisle.
Chandler said: “We’re so excited. It’s where we met and where we got engaged so it only makes sense that we’d have it at Australia zoo.

“See, I think this wedding is going to be unique because it’s going to be at the zoo and with tons of animals.”
Bindi agreed with her love Chandler, as she joked: “I’m not sure how many people have walked down the aisle with a koala, but we may be setting some new trends for weddings from here on out.”
