Are there ever scandalous stories about the Wiggles?

Are they squeaky clean or are the Ozzie tabloids full of salacious stories about them?

There are only so many thousand times you can watch them Doing The Monkey before your mind starts to wander...

I really hope not. They are scary enough already.

The Blue Wiggle was Australian Cosmo Bachelor of the year in the late 90's/early 00's...

Thant's pretty much all I've got...

Oh and they are Australia's highest earning entertainers (they beat Nicole Kidman and Baz Luhrman too)

MaMight · 30/03/2010 11:58

Who is Baz Luhrman?

It makes me chuckle sometimes to think that my 3 and 1 yr old's favourite thing to do is watch 4 millionaires dance around singing cheesy songs.

When I play 'You HAVE to sleep with one
Wiggle, choose which one' (as, I assume, we all do) I usually choose AnTHHHHony.

Baz Luhrman is the director/producer of Strictly Ballroom, Romeo and Juliet, Moulin Rouge and various other films... v.v.v. rich.... but not as much as the Wiggles!!

Rip-off scandal

not as good as sex with a goat, but you can't have everything...

I have nothing but good things to say about the Wiggles. We had a bad experience at their show last year and they refunded the money direct from Australia (no faffing about with Ticketmaster etc) and sent dd a load of DVDs and merchandise etc.

Although I have heard some seriously dirty stuff about Henry the Octopus....

It's captain feathersworx you have to watch

MaMight · 30/03/2010 13:44

Why a bad experience Squeaver?

We're going to see them in a few weeks time.

Before they were the Wiggles they were a band called The Cockroaches. Eurgh! Their few hits were scandalously bad.

squeaver · 30/03/2010 14:51

I'd like to say that halfway through Dorothy the Dinosaur did a pole dance, but they had terrible sound problems - we couldn't hear a word. It was at the Hammersmith Apollo.

I think they are squeaky but a few years ago the old yellow wiggle left his wife and had a baby with his new wife/partner. Not saying that was bad, or that he cheated, for all i know it could have been amicable, just remember reading something about it a while back.

Greg (Yellow Wiggle #1) was ill Jelly. Found the tour schedule too grueling with his illness and so left and was replaced by Yellow Wiggle #2, Sam.

Sorry, completely misread your post. Thought you had put he left the wiggles to have a baby. Oops.

I would imagine that the lack of sound at a Wiggles show would improve it beyond measure.

They are all a bit creepy IMO.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 30/03/2010 15:56

one wiggle has narcolepsy

MimsyStarr · 30/03/2010 20:33

ha ha. That would be Jeff.

Divatheshopaholic · 30/03/2010 22:10

is that mean they politically correct

poppy34 · 31/03/2010 21:36

spoke to my friend in australia who told me about this...

wiggling with anthony?

QOD · 03/04/2010 18:43

Awww I love the Wiggles!
Surely that can't be true of Anfanny? I truly thought he was gay 'til he married Miki - well I thought Cappy was gay too

Greg, the original yellow wiggle met his first wife at a wiggles concert - but that is old news as he has a new bird and baby now anyway!

Macdog · 06/04/2010 18:45

Noo....not Anthhhhony

jenbeth5 · 25/06/2023 02:04
