Irwins dazzle on 'orange' carpet


BINDI Irwin gave models Erin McNaught and Samantha Harris a run for their money on the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards orange carpet yesterday.

The 13-year-old and her brother Bob were up for the Hall of Slime Award against much older nominees Rove McManus, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Guy Sebastian.

They greeted fans on the orange carpet outside the Sydney Entertainment Centre along with their mum Terri.

"We're so excited, the Hall of Slime award, we can't wait," Bindi told The Daily.

It was little Bob's first chance at getting slimed - a messy rite of passage for celebrities at the child-voted awards.

"Robert's never been slimed before so we told him how it feels, like being covered in conditioner," said Bindi. "As you can see Robert's wearing his best khakis just in case he gets slimed, that way it can wash out easily."

Bob, who was missing a front tooth, added: "I'm looking forward to getting slimed!"

In contrast, Bindi wore a black taffeta dress with gold and silver sequins.

"It's nice to dress up and be a bit of a girly-girl and get out of the Australia Zoo khakis," she said.

When asked by presenter Daniel MacPherson why they should win, Bindi and Bob had some good answers prepared.

"Me and Bindi have been coming to the Kids' Choice Awards since I was in nappies," Bob said.

"We've been slimed so many times we're the ultimate greenies," added Bindi.

The siblings were clearly surprised when a banner was revealed announcing they were the winners to be inducted into the Hall of Slime.

There was only a minute to celebrate before Bob finally got his chance to be slimed.
