 Topic: The Poor Wiggle?
Posted: 25 May 2011 at 8:03pm |
DH mentioned something about there being a wiggle that has missed out on the $$$ like the 5th beatle.
Maybe on Campbell Live tonight? Mildly curious but can't be bothered looking it up.
Can anyone give me the short story?
Seem to listen to the wiggles alot these days

I know there was originally 5 wiggles but before they made it big they decided one of them didn't fit in with the group very well. Think he was meant to be orange? Paul something I think. Don't know if this was what was on though

Did anyone watch it?
Seems to me he left, due to illness. Got paid a sh*tload of $$$$, blew/lost the money. Now wants back in the wiggles.
He wouldnt give figures on how much money but he was dealing million dollar properties so i think they were pretty spot on with how much money they were talking about on the show.

Greg left because of heart disease. He may have not made a good contract when leaving possibly doubt it as he is a founding member, the other guy left because he wanted to pursue a classical music career

Thanks, seems Greg may have made some poor decisions - thinking he just wants publicity for his new book... Didn't like to think the wiggles could have done anything wrong they just seem so nice.

He is still loaded, they just made it look like he'd blown all his money. He only lost a portion of his millions to failed property development, like hundreds of other people did during the recession.
He left due to heart problems, but would like to be a Wiggle again.
He wouldn't give figures, but it sounds like the media blew it all out of proportion and the whole story was really a waste of time, more like gossip than anything else.
