The West: Rove McManus has upstaged Bindi Irwin to be named the favourite Aussie at the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards in Melbourne.

Thousands of screaming children attended today’s ceremony where McManus snapped up the favourite Aussie as well as favourite TV star award at the Hisense Arena in Melbourne Park.

McManus said he was delighted to win against stiff competition from the daughter of the late crocodile hunter Steve Irwin.

“This is like the Nickelodeon gold bat - it’s a big one to be nominated for … I don’t even know why I’m here,” he said.

McManus, who earlier walked the orange carpet with stars from his television show Are You Smarter than A Fifth Grader, also took part in the ceremony’s famous burp off.

“I feel tall,” McManus said when asked to compare it to other award events.

Irwin didn’t walk away empty-handed. The youngster took the biggest Greenie gong which she dedicated to her father.

“I will dedicate it to my dad and my dad’s reserve,” Irwin said. “A small mining company is thinking about strip mining it and we want to just save this one spot.”
