Wiggles and a walk for Trishna and Krishna

WITH their own personal Wiggles concert and their first day outside hospital since being separated, twins Trishna and Krishna had every reason to smile.

The Wiggles turned the Bangladeshi girls' Royal Children's Hospital room in Melbourne into a stage for a special half-hour concert recently, helping their biggest fans overcome their epic separation three weeks ago.

The orphans' joy continued yesterday when they spent several hours lapping up the sun in Royal Park, the Herald Sun reports.

Trishna has relied on the comfort of her Dorothy the Dinosaur doll to overcome surgery and the emotions of being separated from her sister.

But having the real singing and dancing Dorothy as well as the other Wiggles was almost too much for the girls  until won over by their favourite song, Hot Potato.

"We kept shaking our heads and thinking `is this real?'," said the girls' overjoyed guardian Moira Kelly.

"For the last two years the girls couldn't move, they couldn't sit up, stand up or crawl like other kids, but they had these DVDs.

"Sometimes little Krishna would hide right behind her DVD player and peep out hoping the doctors wouldn't see her. It brought tears to my eyes knowing there was nothing I could do to soothe her, but the Wiggles were a lovely distraction."

Neurosurgeon Alison Wray and her three-year-old daughter were special guests at the private concert before The Wiggles visited other sick children.

When they sang Silent Night it reduced the twins' carer Sister Fran to tears to see her "two little angels" so happy.

Red Wiggle Murray Cook said the emotion of the visit also struck the performers.

"It was very moving to meet Trishna and Krishna. They were very overwhelmed at first but Dorothy drew out a smile," he said.

"It was humbling to hear that The Wiggles' music and videos have helped them through their treatment."

Yesterday it was Trishna and Krishna's turn to be the stars, with dozens of stunned bystanders stopping to pass on their best wishes in Royal Park, and Sydney Rd motorists cheering them as they enjoyed their first outing together since being separated three weeks ago.
