Channel 10 'not happy' Robert Irwin is taking his 'helicopter' mum Terri as his date to the Logies - after mother-son duo copped backlash for being 'joined at the hip'


Robert Irwin is the 'hot favourite' to win the Gold Logie at the 64th annual TV Week Logie Awards on August 18 this year.

Sources told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday the celebrity conservationist will be accompanied by his mother, and matriarch of the Irwin family, Terri, 59, (left) despite recent backlash from fans who claim the pair are 'joined at the hip' Robert previously confirmed the entire Irwin clan would be joining him in South Africa, telling The Daily Telegraph in January: 'I've got everyone, including my little niece Grace, coming over, so the whole family are there.' However, the following month, Terri's helicopter parenting tactics began to raise questions among Robert's fans when the pair posed together in multiple images shared to Instagram during their travels overseas in May.
