CROC HUNTER'S MESSAGE FROM BEYOND GRAVE

HUNKY hoofer Robert Irwin, who's cha-cha-cha-ed his way into viewers' hearts on Dancing With the Stars, says his late dad, Steve, left him a moving message that changed his life.

As readers know, the Crocodile Hunter star died in 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray's tail while filming a documentary.

Now 21, Robert was just 2 years old when his dad passed away, but Steve left him a video he hoped would guide his son if the worst ever happened.

In it, Steve explained how he was building a heritage to leave to his children, that he was “creating something that you can continue and that’s what I want you to do.”
