Children's entertainer Emma Watkins has opened up about her unique bond with her younger sister Hayley in which they blend family, work and friendship.
The 35-year-old former Wiggle has revealed she lives, works and travels with her younger sister Hayley, 34, in a unique setup that blurs the lines between family and business.
'We live together and work together and to be honest, we wouldn't have it any other way,' Emma, who married husband Oliver Brian in 2022, told the Courier Mail.
She added they are inseparable and even shared a suitcase while on tour together.
'Hayley is so organised when she travels - everything has its place in a neat little packing cell. Meanwhile, I just toss it all in and hope for the best. To Hayley, my suitcase is basically a lucky dip and a nightmare,' Emma said.
The Sydney-born entertainer added she and Hayley had such a strong connection due to seeing each other on a regular basis.
'EVERY DAY. Which is a lovely change, because when I was on tour with The Wiggles we didn't see each other much,' she said.
'Now, we get to work together and build our company, sharing music and dance with children all around the country. We're so excited to be coming to Brisbane to celebrate Frozen at Westfield Chermside this month!'
Emma performed as the Yellow Wiggle in the iconic children's group from 2013 - 2021 and after leaving created her own character called Emma Memma.
In 2023, The pair competed together on Channel Ten's The Amazing Race Australia and previously opened up about an intense challenge they took part in which never made it to air.
The siblings told Yahoo that upon arriving in India they were given a 'traumatic' fire-eating challenge which they successfully completed.
'I had to eat some sort of leaf that was on fire, and I would have loved for everyone to have seen that because that was a traumatic experience,' Hayley said.
'You had to make like 26 leaves with different ingredients and then consume one. They put it on fire before they put it into your mouth, they just shoved it in, on fire.'

'We live together and work together and to be honest, we wouldn't have it any other way,' Emma said.
Emma added that after fighting hard to successfully complete their challenges, it was fun to watch the other teams on TV struggle with their own challenges.
'I think that is the beauty about this show, that contestants get to then watch all the others struggle through challenges which we didn't pick or we didn't see,' she said.
'There's so many in the race now when we watch it back, and we've been texting each other every Wednesday night, and we've been like, "I wish we had chosen that one!".'
The pair then admitted while they loved their time on the show it was much harder than they expected - but would consider doing it again.
Emma, who launched a new children's entertainment franchise in 2022 featuring her character 'Emma Memma', raced on behalf of the Leonie Jackson Memorial Fund.
The charity focuses on the support of education and services for deaf and hard of hearing children.
Emma tied the knot with husband Oliver Brian in 2022 and have been going strong ever since.
The lovebirds said 'I do' in an intimate ceremony in the Victorian countryside attended by 80 friends and family.
The nuptials came after Emma mixed business with pleasure shortly after she joined The Wiggles in 2012, falling head over heels for her co-star Lachy Gillespie.
They got engaged in May 2015, said 'I do' in rural New South Wales in April 2016, and then stunned fans by announcing their split in August 2018.
