The Wiggles, the long-running children’s band with millions of albums sold, have added a new member to their lineup. Last week, revealed that Tsehay Hawkins is set to become the new Yellow Wiggle when Emma Watkins departs the group at the end of this year, after nine years of performing in the yellow skivvy as the first ever female Wiggle. Hawkins, who comes from Ethiopia, will be the first Black woman to be a member of the Wiggles cast, and the youngest person ever to join the cast, at just 15 years old. The passing of the yellow skivvy has proven to be ground-breaking for The Wiggles.
Please join us in giving a warm Wiggly welcome to our new Yellow Wiggle and say, “Hey, Tsehay!” 💛Tsehay is pronounced se-hi and means ’the sun’ in Amharic. You may recognise Tsehay as one of the new Wiggles’ cast members of Fruit Salad TV! pic.twitter.com/Hh30vT1pfu
