The Wiggles’ Emma Watkins has revealed her exciting new career move, two years after leaving the iconic children’s group.
The children’s entertainer, 34, revealed on Thursday she will take over hosting duties for the third series of the popular ABC reality show Teenage Boss: Next Level.
The popular show, which follows the lives of several teenagers managing their household budget, was hosted by mathematician Eddie Woo for the first two seasons.
Watkins expressed her delight about joining the show in a statement.
‘I’m thrilled to join the beloved show for its third series. I’m looking forward to working through the challenges of managing budgets with the teens themselves,’ she began.

‘Hoping to learn a thing or two myself. Tighten your purse strings, I’m on my way!’
The South Australian-filmed series is produced by McAvoy Media and aims to teach teenagers the ins and outs of responsible spending.
In 2022, Watkins shocked fans when she hung up her Yellow Wiggle costume after almost a decade in the world-famous children’s group.
The beloved entertainer revealed she had a ‘lovely’ conversation with her successor Tsehay Hawkins the night before she quit the band.
She said Tsehay was excited to be stepping into her shoes and the two ‘couldn’t be in a better position’ since they had already performed together.
‘I wasn’t probably thinking very much the night before, but I do remember speaking to Tsehay on the phone, which was so lovely,’ she told 7Life, explaining she had already spent a long time contemplating her decision to leave.
‘I guess I was ready for a new chapter, but I probably didn’t know if I was going to be ready or not.’
Since quitting the kids’ supergroup last year, the former Yellow Wiggle has created a new character, Emma Memma, which she unveiled in July 2022.
Her alter ego still features Watkins’ trademark curly hair, but she has dyed it red to match her bright orange dress and pink shirt.
