It’s not every day you see one of The Wiggles out and about in their downtime.
But fans got a rare treat when Caterina Mete, known to many as the Red Wiggle, stepped out in Melbourne on Monday showcasing her growing baby bump.
The beloved children’s performer, 43, looked almost unrecognisable in her chic, casual attire as she enjoyed a leisurely stroll.
Sporting a long black coat that billowed gracefully, Caterina paired it with a vibrant pink and orange scarf, perfectly accentuating her maternity glow.
The scarf, wrapped snugly around her neck, kept her warm while subtly accentuating her baby bump.

The children’s entertainer, 43, known for her vibrant performances, looked almost unrecognisable as she attempted to go incognito during her casual outing
Her look was completed with a pair of sleek black leggings and a navy blue top that hugged her growing belly.
Caterina accessorised her outfit with a cute black beanie topped with a playful pom-pom and a pair of oversized sunglasses, adding a touch of glamour to her laid-back appearance.
A small crossbody bag and a water bottle in hand suggested she was out for a relaxed day of errands or perhaps a light walk.

The Red Wiggle, who announced her pregnancy in February following successful IVF treatment with an anonymous sperm donor, has now commenced her maternity leave.
In an Instagram clip shared last week, Caterina expressed her excitement about meeting her daughters soon.
‘I’m excited and can’t wait to meet them. Trying to rest as much as I can,’ she said.
‘The nursery is ready. I think I’m ready,’ she added.

Caterina’s IVF journey wasn’t straightforward.
She froze her eggs in her 30s and later created two embryos with her chosen sperm donor but devastatingly suffered a miscarriage from the first embryo transfer.
‘It was certainly a shock to find out I had miscarried,’ she told maternity brand The Inarra.
‘I spoke to lots of women about it and was surprised to find out how common it is, I think talking about it has helped me through the healing process.’
Caterina went on to have a second embryo transfer and was given the happy news that she was pregnant with twins, and later found out she was expecting baby girls.
In an Instagram clip shared earlier this month, Caterina expressed her excitement about meeting her daughters soon. ‘I’m excited and can’t wait to meet them. Trying to rest as much as I can,’ she said
She described her pregnancy as a ‘miracle’ and looked ahead to welcoming her two daughters in July, admitting she is very excited to embrace single motherhood.
She gushed: ‘I’m so excited about motherhood and the journey it takes you on, I feel so lucky that I will have double the love, double the smiles and two little girls to share life with.’
The TV star said she knows she will have her ‘hands full’ but has been very well supported by her family, friends and colleagues throughout her pregnancy.
After becoming a regular dancer for The Wiggles, performing in recordings and recording with them, she then became Red Wiggle in 2022.
