After his famous wife asked for a trial separation, heartbroken purple Wiggle Lachy was consoled by his ex-girlfriend
She’s beautiful, talented and bears a striking resemblance to yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins. This is the woman the Wiggles didn’t want you to know about when Lachy Gillespie and Emma announced their shock split two weeks ago.
Singer and dancer Brianne Turk, 34, was given the job of replacing Emma, 28, when she took 11 weeks off to have surgery for endometriosis earlier this year “because she looked so much like Emma” and could sing.
But what the fans didn’t know was that Brianne was 32-year old Lachy’s first big love – they met and started dating when they both studied for a Bachelor of Musical Theatre at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts 10 years ago.
“It’s the secret they didn’t want anyone to know,” says one insider, who claims even Emma wasn’t aware that Lachy had dated Brianne when she was chosen to be her understudy while she was in hospital.
