.. and you'll never guess who it is Last year, Bindi underwent major surgery for endometriosis in the United States.
At the time, she spoke about her decade-long struggle with the disease in a lengthy Instagram post. The conservationist also posted a confronting photo of herself in a hospital bed after the surgery. The Crikey! It's the Irwins star said she had spent ten years 'torn apart [by] the pain' and knew she had to have surgery because she 'couldn't live like I was'.

Bindi was six years old when he tragically passed, while Robert was three months shy of his third birthday. His legacy, however, lives on through his family, who have continued his mission of wildlife conservation and advocacy. It was Steve's father, Bob, 85, who built the iconic Queensland zoo from the ground up in 1970 and passed it on to his late son and his wife Terri in 1992.
In his lifetime, Steve promoted wildlife conservation with his own hit TV show, The Crocodile Hunter. His family have carried on his legacy with their own blockbuster wildlife reality series Crikey!
