WIGGLE PULLS OUT OF TOUR

- JONATHON MORAN

YELLOW Wiggle Emma Watkins has been forced to pull out of shows with the children’s entertainm­ent group – including on the Gold Coast on Tuesday – to undergo treatment for chronic endometrio­sis.

“I have been in a lot of pain for the past couple of years and on advice from my specialist, a difficult decision has been made for me to be urgently admitted to hospital to have an operation to manage the pain that endometrio­sis has brought on,” Watkins said.

The 28-year-old will be admitted to hospital on Tuesday, the same day she was to perform with the Wiggles at Dreamworld.

An understudy will perform as the Yellow Wiggle in Watkins’ place.
