The Wiggles’ brand-new documentary Hot Potato: The Story of the Wiggles has finally hit Prime Video screens, and with it has come some behind-the-scenes secrets.
Sitting down with news.com.au, founding members Anthony Field, Greg Page, Murray Cook and Jeff Fatt have opened up about the highs and lows of their three-decade-long careers, including the high-profile exits of Page in 2006 and his replacement Emma Watkins, who very publicly quit in 2021.
Asked how difficult the popular Australian children’s group found it to continue after the shock exits, Field explained it was his long-time friend Page’s decision to leave that was the hardest to come to terms with.
“For me, with Greg, it was very hard, because [these] four have this magic that you can’t manufacture,” he said, with Cook further adding to the answer.
