'Hot Wiggle' John Pearce celebrates first Easter after welcoming baby boy Henry at Christmas

Daily Mail​21-04-2025
Purple Wiggle John Adamo-Pearce has celebrated his first Easter with his new baby boy Henry.
The former Justice Crew member, known as the 'Hot Wiggle', welcomed his son with his wife Jessie just two weeks before Christmas.
And now the happy couple have taken to social media to share some holidays snaps featuring their four-month-old bundle of joy.
In one snap a beaming John can be seen flaunting his physique in a white single while holding son while his wife poses beside him.
Another photo shared to John's Instagram showed little Henry in a 'bunny' jumpsuit being held by his father, while Jessie attempts to be a pair of tiny sandals on his feet.
Another picture features John and Jessie with their baby enjoying a lavish meal with several loved ones.
It comes after John Pearce and Jessie Adamo welcomed their first child into the world in December.
John shared pictures of their newborn to Instagram and confirmed their son's adorable name, revealing they have called him Henry Nicholas.
He penned: 'Henry Nicholas Adamo Pearce 16.12.24. Welcome to the world our beautiful angel. We have never felt a love like this.'
John and Jessie announced they were expecting their first child back in June and have been keeping fans up to date with their pregnancy journey since.
Just weeks before welcoming their first child, the couple jetted off to Fiji for a luxury babymoon as they celebrated Jessie's final few weeks of pregnancy.
In September, John took to Instagram to share an array of stunning snaps from their pre-baby holiday as they made the most of their quality time together.
The couple spared no expense on the trip as they stayed in the luxurious Fiji Marriott Resort in Momi Bay.
The hotel boasts the Fijian mainland's only sole over-water bungalows, allowing you to plunge into pristine lagoon waters directly from private stairs.
John and Jessie started dating in 2012, just two years after his dance-pop group Justice Crew shot to fame with their Australia's Got Talent win.
They tied the knot in a private ceremony in October 2019 and they recently marked their fifth wedding anniversary.
Meanwhile, says he has learned to embrace his sex symbol status as the 'Hot Wiggle'.
'It's positive thing and I'm super flattered by it. You've just got to embrace it,' the new dad said in an interview with TMZ's Big Down Under podcast.
'My wife thinks so, so that's the main thing,' he laughed when asked if he approves of the nickname.
John, whose nicknames include 'Big Strong John', 'Hot Wiggle' and 'Daddy Wiggle' has had various roles over the years - hip hop dancer, a Ninja Warrior and since 2021 the 'Purple Wiggle'.
John had applied to be a firefighter and was also a budding Instagram influencer when he was shoulder tapped by The Wiggles.
When it was first announced John was joining the quintessentially Australian group, an ABC News host labelled him 'offensively hot' and a 'thirst trap for mums'.
He said back in the day Anthony Field, 61, who has tattoos and abs underneath his Blue Wiggle skivvy, would be more worthy of the title.
'I believe that if TikTok was around in the 90s, Anthony would have been the original Hot Wiggle,' he laughed.
'I'm just trying to be myself. I don't mind the labels. I've been accepted into the role of Purple Wiggle so thank you to all the mums, dads, aunties and uncles.'

George Clarke breaks silence on new girlfriend as he signs up for Strictly Come Dancing

George Clarke openly admitted to being in a relationship for the first time in his showbiz career just hours before the YouTuber was revealed to be part of this year's Strictly line up George Clarke has revealed the reason why he confirmed his romance with lingerie model Yasmin Amelia just hours before he was announced as part of this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up. ‌ The 25-year-old YouTuber, who built a loyal following online with his sharp sense of humour, previously kept fans guessing when it came to his relationship status. ‌ Until now, Clarke has often joked about dating mishaps and dodged questions about his love life. But ahead of his glittering BBC ballroom debut, he decided to go public with a girlfriend for the first time. ‌ He explained his reasoning on the Useless Hotline Podcast, saying he wanted to take control of the story before speculation started. He shared: "That's part of the reason why we wanted to say something. Because the two options were, say something. You have full control over how it comes out. "Whatever you say is basically how people find out, or it stays private. [It] just sort of takes all the control out of your hands. But then, I [will] just go on stream after that and be like, that's not true, by the way. But, yeah, she's my girlfriend." Fans first spotted hints of his relationship during a livestream, and quickly figured out that his partner was Yasmin Amelia, also known as Yasmin Bennett, a model signed to J'adore Models with over 30,000 Instagram followers. Clarke himself boasts more than 686,000 followers and previously appeared on the Netflix reality show Inside. While many of his fans celebrated the news of his new romance, others were taken aback. One Reddit user wrote: "Caught me off guard because he is a very private person especially about his dating/love life. Even on the pod he has expressed his desire to keep things private and off socials." However, another wrote: "I heard about this on his stream, and I'm genuinely happy for him!" ‌ Clarke has also addressed speculation about the so-called Strictly Curse, which what fans call the phenomenon of many stars who join the show leaving their partners for someone they've met during the competition. He quickly dismissed the idea that his relationship could be at risk because of his upcoming time on Strictly, and insisted that he went public about his girlfriend because he wanted to be honest with his fans, rather than as a form of damage control. Clarke also accidentally dropped another interesting piece of information on the podcast, hinting at who he might be partnered with on the show. He revealed that he had already met professional dancer Lauren Oakley in rehearsals, saying: "I've not met anyone apart from, I believe her name's Lauren, who was the pro that I met. Because when we had an interview for it, so it's like an hour long interview, and then like an hour long dance session." Oakley, who joined the Strictly pro team in 2022, has previously competed with journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy and singer JB Gill. If Clarke's slip-up means what it seems to imply, she might be guiding the YouTube star through his first ballroom steps.

Kim Kardashian fans flip over her bizarre Korean procedures that include an injection and eyebrow tape

Kim Kardashian fans have flipped out of her latest Instagram post. The reality TV dynamo shared images of several very bizarre procedures that she had done while on vacation with her sister Khloe Kardashian and friends like La La Anthony and Stephanie Shepherd in South Korea. In one image the 44-year-old diva from Calabasas had her arm injected with a purple liquid as she was partially bandaged up. One follower asked if she is being injected with what 'looks like a smoothie' and that is exactly what it looked like: 'What are you injecting into your arm looks like a smoothie.' Other fans were more positive: 'Omgggg gurllll youu goooo❤️.' And then there was this: 'Honestly mood skincare everything there,' as well as this: 'Nice cream Kim you going to look younger again.' In one image the 44-year-old diva from Calabasas had her arm injected with a purple liquid as she was partially bandaged up. One follower asked if she is being injected with what 'looks like a smoothie' and that is exactly what it looked like: 'What are you injecting into your arm looks like a smoothie' There was another shot where she had tape and Band-Aids over her eyebrows which may have meant she was having them dyed. And there were two portraits where she had white stuff on her face, which was likely an exotic facial. Kim did nothing to explain what she was up to as her caption simply read, 'The things we do.' On Monday, she was seen trying out the new Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap from her SKIMS line with La La Anthony and Khloe as they jetted to South Korea. They were on Kim Air, which is the star's private jet. Kim wore a brown fur coat over a sheer body stocking by Saint Laurent with red lipstick. 'When in Korea,' Kim wrote in the caption. Earlier this month Kardashian said she thought her 'body was breaking down' before she turned to stem cell therapy. The beauty has taken to social media to share her health journey, revealing that stem cell therapy has helped her to overcome various aches and pains. Kim wrote on Instagram: 'I'm so excited to share with you guys my stem cell journey. 'Two years ago, I tore my shoulder while lifting weights, leaving me in debilitating pain. 'I tried everything to find relief, then I learned about the potential of stem cell therapy and met Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna. 'His team treated my shoulder with Dezawa Muse cells, and the results were immediate. 'I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since. 'Encouraged by this success, I recently returned to Dr. Khan to address chronic back pain that I have been suffering with for years. 'The Muse stem cell treatment was a game-changer once again. I experienced relief right away, and the unbearable pain is finally gone. 'If you're struggling with back pain, I can't recommend this treatment enough - it's transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down. 'Of course, everyone is different, and I'm just sharing what has worked for me lately. Definitely do your own homework and talk to medical professionals. 'Since Muse stem cells aren't yet accessible in the US, I had to travel to Mexico to be treated by Dr. Khan's team. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity and resources to pursue this healing, and I pray the science continues to evolve so more people can benefit. (sic)' The eye pillows said Kim Air on them as the ladies had beds to sleep in Outside a building in Korea Meanwhile, Kim previously opened up about her struggles with psoriasis, revealing that she suffered a major flare-up before the Met Gala. Speaking to SHE MD podcast, Kim shared: 'It's only this one spot [on my face] that will itch. And it will really, really itch when it does. 'When I started to get a little bit desperate was when it started to cover my face, and there was a spot really close to my eye, and it would just burn a little bit. 'I remember I had the Met Ball coming up that week and it was covering my face.'
