The Wiggles have been forced to address accusations from fans that they were endorsing drug use after appearing in a clip with singer Keli Holiday, real name Adam Hyde.
Hyde posted the clip to promote his new song about ecstasy.
The video in question has been pulled down by Holiday following complaints, and The Wiggles reassured fans that it had been edited and posted without the band’s knowledge.
In the TikTok video, Blue Wiggle Anthony Field and his nephew Dominic Field, better known as his Wiggles character The Tree Of Wisdom, can be seen dancing behind Hyde to his new single Ecstasy.

In the chorus, the musician sings: “Hey girl come on dance with me. You and your pocket full of ecstasy.”
The video in question starts with Hyde gyrating with only a towel around his waist before showing him dancing with the pair in their official Wiggles costumes.
Field swings his legs and performs the signature Wiggle fingers, while The Tree of Wisdom does his famous dance in the video.
Hyde captioned the clip: “The Wiggles get it”.
Following the video’s removal from social media, The Wiggles told The West Australian in a statement that the group “does not condone” the use of drugs “in any form”
