The Royal Children’s Hospital received an injection of colour this morning when the Wiggles surprised patients with a special visit.

Blue Wiggle Anthony, Red Wiggle Murray, Purple Wiggle Jeff and Yellow Wiggle Sam staged a mini concert in the Starlight Room, playing everyone’s favourite hits.  Babies through to adolescents (and mum and dad too) danced along to Hot Potato and Big Red Car.

The children took delight in waking up Jeff a number of times.  Wags the Dog and Dorothy the Dinosaur also made special appearances.

After the concert, the Wiggles visited patients who were unable to leave their beds, including twins Krishna and Trishna.

Initially overwhelmed at meeting their idols – they watch the Wiggles regularly on their DVD players – the twins’ tears soon made way for smiles and laughter.  Trishna was particularly fond of Dorothy.
