What drama? Terri Irwin moves on from fan backlash to sell signed copies of Bindi and Chandler Powell’s special edition wedding magazine on Twitter …after releasing candles for $49.95
Terri Irwin is putting the family’s current backlash from Australian fans behind her.
The 55-year-old moved on from the drama on Monday to sell signed copies of Bindi and husband Chandler Powell’s special edition wedding magazine on Twitter.
It comes after local supporters of the family slammed them on Sunday for airing the TV special of the nuptials only in America, with Australians having to wait months.

Ignoring the upset, Terri shared a picture of the family’s pug Stella on top of several boxes in a warehouse on Monday, promoting their quarterly Crikey! Magazine.
‘Stella is working hard to make sure everyone gets their new edition of Crikey! Magazine as quickly as possible,’ began Terri to her 332,000 followers.
‘When you subscribe before the end of April, you’ll receive your special edition signed by Bindi and Chandler. We ship worldwide. Love wins!’
According to Australia Zoo, all profits from the publication goes to ‘directly to funding conservation initiatives’ – with an annual subscription available for $25.95.
In March, the family sold commemorative candles of the wedding for $49.95, leading to a very mixed response from the general public.

Bindi and Chandler haven’t had the best start to married life.
As their Crikey! It’s the Irwins TV wedding special finally premiered on Saturday night, the newlyweds endured a backlash from fans in Australia.
Despite the ceremony happening at Australia Zoo on March 25, the episode aired exclusively in America, and won’t be available Down Under until July 18.
In another bizarre twist, the episode will already have aired in every other country by July 18, making Australians the last people in the world able to watch it.

It will air in the UK on May 3, Papua New Guinea, Cambodia, Hong Kong and other countries on May 18, Taiwan on May 23 and South Korea on July 3.
Only then will it broadcast on Animal Planet on Australia in mid-July.
‘I’m so confused why Aussies have to wait the longest when you got married 40mins down the road from me? #rippedoff,’ one Queenslander tweeted on Sunday.
‘Omg it was in Australia and Australians don’t even get to see it until July like if you’re mad,’ another person tweeted at Chandler as he revealed the airdates.

‘I find it weird how the wedding took place in Australia and they’re the LAST ones to see it,’ mused a third fan of the famous family.
As many Aussies voiced their confusion and anger, Chandler responded on Twitter.
He tweeted: ‘Programming is out of our control as Animal Planet decides when to air the show. We will keep you posted as we find out more air dates!’
