A lifelong Wiggles fan, Ferris admits to having a bit of a fan girl moment when she first met Field at a chance encounter at the Sydney Opera House.

And while Field, 58, says he doesn't have any plans to stop performing, he's given fellow band member Simon Pryce red the order. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work.
