The Wiggles’ John Pearce has opened up about the most difficult part of being the band.
The 33-year-old, who has been dubbed the ‘hot Purple Wiggle’ by thirsty mums on social media, told Yahoo Lifestyle on Wednesday that separating his work persona from his real self was a challenge.
‘You are a Wiggle whether you have the skivvy on or not. It’s always remembering that people know you as a person,’ he said.
The former member of the dance group Justice Crew also went on to reflect that the balance between the personal and professional on social media was tricky.
‘On social media you’ve got to have that fine line between personal and being a Wiggle, but I personally think that I’m a Wiggle through and through now,’ he said.

It comes as John recently dished what he really thinks about adult fans calling him the ‘sexy Wiggle.’
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail at the premiere of Hot Potato: The Story of the Wiggles late last year, the Purple Wiggle said, ‘it’s all good positive stuff and I think, you know, you just gotta take the best of it.’
‘Sexy and Wiggle in the same sentence doesn’t really make sense, but it’s 2023 and anything is possible,’ he said at the time.

In an interview with Stellar magazine, the former singer spoke about his online persona versus his image as a children’s entertainer.
‘Taking your shirt off and being a kid’s entertainer is not in the same room. I’m totally aware of all that,’ he told the publication.
‘You know, we have to be super careful. People are entitled to their opinions and say what they like.’
He continued: ‘I try not to let any of the comments, positive and negative, affect what I’m here for – and that’s making music for children.’
