Bindi Irwin would be ‘mortified’ by her cousin Rebecca Lobie’s raunchy Instagram posts, say friends
Her raunchy Instagram posts have earned her the nickname ‘Steve Irwin’s hot niece’.
But it seems Rebecca Lobie’s suggestive content may be putting a strain on her relationship with cousin Bindi Irwin.
According to New Idea, friends of 21-year-old Bindi are convinced the straight-laced wildlife warrior wouldn’t approve of Rebecca’s racy photos.

‘[She] would be mortified by her cousin’s social media posts,’ a source said.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting there is anything wrong with Rebecca’s photos, which are tasteful and show her in lingerie and swimwear.
In fact, her posts are hardly different from those uploaded by celebrities and models on a daily basis.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Australia Zoo for comment.
