Bindi Irwin's love interest Bailey Lancaster deletes Instagram after women's mag spills beans on romance

THE teenager said to be the love interest of Bindi Irwin has deleted the social media account where he declared the blonde beauty was all his.

THE Sunshine Coast teenage boy said to have captured the heart of crocodile girl Bindi Irwin has deleted his social media account where he declared the blonde beauty was all his.

Schoolboy Bailey "Bazz" Lancaster hadn't been shy in declaring his affection for the 15-year-old on her Instagram account but yesterday his own account was deleted after a women's magazine reported the blossoming love pairing.

MEET BINDI IRWIN'S FIRST BOYFRIEND

On her account Bindi ­refers to Bazz as her "best friend" while he had laid a claim on the teen to her 46,000 followers.

On September 28 he wrote underneath a photo of the wildlife warrior's daughter: "Mine. Back off boys. Getting pretty jelly" (jealous).

Two days later he wrote: "Also back off boys she's #mine" and when a follower asked if the pair were dating or just friends, he replied "You betcha buddy. Dating it up date style".

His comments have since been deleted, as has his ­account, which featured a cute photo of the pair.

The Irwin family's personal assistant said he wasn't aware of Bindi being in a relationship with the teen and she had "lots of friends".

Bindi is currently overseas with the Irwin family on a wildlife mission and wasn't contactable yesterday, he said.

New Idea reports the pair's parents have met and will publish photos of Bindi, mum Terri and Bazz's dad Steve in Noosa together.

The current teen love ­affair is the latest reminder of just how fast Bindi is growing up.

Earlier this year, the spotlight was on Bindi after her comments during an interview with The Sunday Mail about the need for family planning and birth control to stem overpopulation in the world.

"There's such a thing as seven-year-implants, so if you had a girl that was 11 years old and gave her the seven-year implant she wouldn't be able to have kids until she was 18.

''I think there's lots of ways to look at it and family planning is so important and I feel bad for those who don't have access to it and it's certainly something that's close to my heart and something I think we need to start thinking about.''

In the same interview she denied she was interested in snaring a boyfriend and said she couldn't manage it with her busy schedule and travel with her mother Terri and brother Robert.

"Oh, I'm sure that will come soon enough but at the moment I have friends that are girls and friends that are boys, so why make things complicated," she said.

Bindi was only eight when her father Steve was killed in 2006 and she continues to uphold his wildlife conservation endeavours.

"...I think seizing the opportunity and making the most of your time is very important and loving life,'' she said.
