Robert Irwin left embarrassed over mum Terri’s X-rated remark

The I’m A Celeb presenter couldn’t hide his embarrassment as he held his head in his hands in front of a big audience.

Robert Irwin was left mortified onstage over the weekend after his mum made an X-rated joke in front of a live audience.

Terri Irwin’s saucy joke about her late husband Steve Irwin left her son in a state of shock while the pair were on stage together at the VMX 2024 veterinary conference in Orlando, Florida over the weekend.

During their presentation, Terri overheard a fan in the audience admitting they had a Steve tattoo, which sparked the star into making an X-rated gag.

“It seems like there’s more than one person who has a tattoo of Steve and I was really impressed because I don’t have a tattoo of Steve,” she said. “I have a tattoo that says ‘Steve was here’. I don’t think I can show it to you.”

As the realisation of what his mother had just said hit him, Robert doubled over and held his head in his hands in embarrassment.

As he urged Terri to change the subject, he yelled: “Anyway! Alright!”

Meanwhile, Rob recently gushed about how much he’s been enjoying his life lately, and it’s all thanks to a special woman in his life.

He told news.com.au at the GQ Awards in November that Rorie Buckey helps make things “that much sweeter”.

“I think life is awesome for me every single second of every day,” said the TV star. “But when love is part of life, every single thing is so much sweeter, so much nicer, and you take that time to enjoy every single moment. We are extremely happy.”

Irwin, who recently celebrated his 20th birthday, went to share how he celebrated the big day and how he feels about no longer being a teenager.

“I’ve been lavished with gifts,” gushed the wildlife warrior. “It was a lovely day spent with the entire fam. I feel very spoiled, very lucky, entering a new decade is a weird feeling. Being a teenager for these last nine years. It’s just strange waking up at 20, I’m so excited but I’m thinking like ‘Are my joints going to start going?’ I don’t know this is weird, but I like it it’s cool.”

Later on in the night, Irwin took to the stage to accept an award which he decided to dedicate to both his beloved parents while sharing his sadness that his father, Steve, couldn’t be there to celebrate with him.
