Comedian Fiona O’Loughlin slams Bindi Irwin and the rest of her family in extraordinary rant
She took aim at Bindi Irwin while appearing on the TV music quiz show Spicks and Specks back in 2010.
And comedian Fiona O’Loughlin was at it again on Friday, slamming the wildlife warrior and her family in an extraordinary rant on The Little Dum Dum Club podcast.
Fiona, 56, not only took aim at Bindi, but the rest of the Irwin family, including mum Terri, 55, and son Robert, 15.
Harsh words: Comedian Fiona O’Loughlin has slammed Bindi Irwin and the rest of the Irwin family in an extraordinary rant on The Little Dum Dum Club podcast on Friday
‘I said she [Bindi] was a freak. She is!’ said Fiona, 56.
‘Yeah I said she was a freak. I was talking about that family. You know, it’s weird. Let’s call a spade a spade. You don’t run around the world talking like that without being bonkers. “Fun” bonkers, but bonkers.
Fiona, who won the fourth season of I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! last year, went on to claim that the Irwin children had never had guests to their home before their dad Steve’s death.

She said: ‘You know when somebody dies, people come to your front door with casseroles, right? Or well-wishes or whatever.
‘And Terri said how freaked out the kids were because they’d never had company before. They’d never had anyone over to the house.’
Steve Irwin died after being attacked by stingray in September, 2006, aged 44.

Fiona came under fire in 2010 for insulting Bindi on the now defunct ABC quiz show Spicks and Specks.
She was a panellist on the show with one of Bindi’s former ‘crocmen’ when she called the then-11-year-old girl ‘a bit creepy’ and a ‘freakshow’.
The comedian defended herself at the time, dismissing her comment as just a bit of light-hearted banter.
‘It was part of some banter on a comedy panel show. I’m a comedian and comedians make fun of people we know. I’ve said worse about myself,’ she said.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to the Irwins for comment.
