Robert Irwin was pictured cosying up to young actress Emmy Perry at the annual Steve Irwin Gala Dinner in Los Angeles, and both looked wrapped to be in each other’s company.

“Sparks were flying between them,” an onlooker reveals.

Emmy, 14, who has starred in Glee, has plenty in common with the young conservationist, having launched her own animal charity, Emmy’s Hope, when she was 11.

At the gala, Emmy was seen cuddling one of Robert’s giant pythons and took to Instagram afterwards to share her joy.

“Had such a magical time honouring the legacy of a man who was truly an angel to the voiceless on this planet, Steve Irwin, and gathering to help continue his lifesaving work through his amazing family,” the actress wrote.
