1. Why The Wiggles' Emma Watkins and ex-husband Lachlan Gillespie spent isolation together.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, The Wiggles' Emma Watkins and her ex-husband Lachlan Gillespie have been self-isolating together.

The couple, who first met in 2013 when they both joined the children's singing group, married in 2016, before amicably parting ways in 2018.

Since then, they have continued to work together professionally.

Emma is now dating Wiggles musician Oliver Brian, while Lachlan is engaged to ballet dancer, Dana Stephenson.

When speaking to TheAustralian Women's Weekly, Emma shared that since families are at home together, kids need entertainment. And therefore, all four Wiggles have been isolating together in their Sydney studio to continue creating content.

"Parents are juggling being a teacher, a chef and a parent," Emma explained.

"Around the world, we have parents asking, 'Please make more content!' And it makes you think, we're responsible for providing entertainment at the moment, so we'll just keep going."

2. "I haven’t been out that much." MasterChef's Melissa Leong on finding fame amid COVID-19.

While we have all made it very clear that we love and adore newMasterChefjudge Melissa Leong, she hasn't exactly experienced her newfound fame just yet.

While speaking to TV Tonight, she explained that since everyone has been at home, she hasn't really had the chance to experience her new, more publicly-known status.

"I guess with COVID being what it is, I haven’t actually been out that much," she explained.

"With filming, every single one of us – cast and crew – have been very careful to only be doing the responsible thing and minimising the amount that we go out. So for a number of months, all I was doing was going from home to work and occasionally dropping into the shops and that’s about it.

"I haven’t actually had much interaction with our wonderful audience in a public setting in that regard yet."

However, she did explain that during a quick trip to Sydney recently, she had a lovely run-in with a few fans.

"It was lovely to run into people and have them say how much they love the show and that we do bring something new and different to this much-loved juggernaut. So it’s deeply flattering and it really does make us so happy."
