New member of The Wiggles John Pearce has revealed what he really thinks about grown-up fans calling him the ‘sexy Wiggle’.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail at SXSW Sydney on Thursday, the 32-year-old said: ‘it’s all good positive things and I mean, you know, you just have to make the best of it.’
The former member of the dance group Justice Crew also continued to ponder the oddity of the moniker.
“Seki and Wiggle in the same sentence doesn’t really make sense, but it’s 2023 and anything is possible.”
But the thirsty mums haven’t threatened his marriage, as he claims his wife is very secure in their relationship: “She loves it, yes. She is very supportive. She is my best friend. She is my soul mate.’

The Daily Mail also spoke to bandmate Zehai Hawkins, who thinks the moniker Hot Purple Wiggle ‘funniest thing ever.’
“It’s great to see the moms letting it go… It’s a great group joke,” she said.
‘John is such a humble guy and such a funny guy so it’s so funny to see them, you know, adore him and he’s so relaxed.’

It comes as the Purple Wiggle revealed earlier this year that it has become much more “careful” when it comes to sharing “thirst traps” online.
In an interview with Stellar magazinethe former singer spoke about his online persona versus his image as a child entertainer.
“Taking your shirt off and being a children’s entertainer are not in the same room. I am fully aware of all that,” he told the publication.
“You know, we have to be super careful. People are entitled to their opinion and say what they want.’

He continued: ‘I try not to let any of the comments, positive or negative, affect what I’m here for – which is to make music for kids.’
Pierce recently spoke about the attention he’s received for his good looks, especially from the mothers of his young audience.
Speaking to nevs.com.au, he said he was grateful to have the support of his wife of four years, Jessie Pearce.
‘I think it’s great to have a person in your life who will bring out the best in you and she’s always been about that kind of thing.’
Jessie currently works in the fashion industry.
However, Pearce said he may be joined by The Wiggles on tour this year.
“I try not to let any of the comments, positive or negative, get in the way of what I’m here for – which is to make music for kids,” Pierce said.
