“Terri Irwin was quick to point out that the recent photo shoot turned out to be a ‘thirst trap’ for her son and that didn’t sit well with her,” the source claimed.
“The famous mother is usually aware of everything her children Bindi and Robert publish in the media, but somehow a series of photos crossed the line, breaking one of her golden rules of not ‘sexualizing’ the brand Irwin.
“It’s all connected to Australia Zoo and the family brand, even the team behind the I’m A Celebrity machine know Terri doesn’t want Robert to be positioned as a ‘sex symbol.’
“I think Terri was surprised by these images and the new attention Robert has been receiving from new fans,” they added.

Robert’s father, Steve Irwin, known worldwide as the ‘Crocodile Hunter’, died aged 44 on September 4, 2006, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray.
