Terri Irwin strikes a sexy pose as khaki-clad Steve takes care of business in rare image

Bindi Irwin celebrated her parents’ enduring love story on Saturday by sharing a rarely seen photo from her family archive.

Steve and Terri Irwin would have celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary this month, but their marriage was cruelly cut short when Steve, known to millions around the world as ‘the Crocodile Hunter’, was killed in a freak accident in 2006.

In the throwback snap posted on Instagram, Terri strikes a fun and sexy pose on a battered couch as a khaki-clad Steve makes a phone call.
