"He would've been a good, good grandpa," she told ET ahead of the new season of Crikey! It’s the Irwins. "Yeah, he really would've been. I don't think we would've ever seen our daughter. He would've just whisked her away into the zoo and it would've been perfect.
"But it is so nice that we'll be able to introduce her to her grandfather through all of the documentaries. It's really special."
Her mum, Terri added that her husband - who died in 2006 - would have been "over the moon" and joked: "I will say one thing for sure is you would never have to wonder what he would've worn during any of the milestones.

"Our little baby wildlife warrior will be here in just a few months and we are so, so happy. She is now the size of a platypus, I feel weird comparing her to fruits and vegetables, so we are comparing her to animals, and she is very cute," Bindi explained to Kelly.
"She is busy, she never sleeps, she kicks all the time. I think we are going to have our hands full," Bindi added.
Chandler - whom she married in 2020 - excitedly chimed in: "We now see feet and hands coming through Bindi's belly, and it is the coolest thing."
