Australian star Lara Worthington has revealed the extra special Christmas gift that almost made her cry.
The Sydney-born model, 37, took to her Instagram Stories to share that The Wiggles’ official Instagram account followed her.
The famously private Lara (née Bingle) highlighted the screenshot with a series of sobbing emojis.
The Wiggles are followed by 308,000 people, but the iconic Australian children’s group follows 3,400 select accounts on the social media platform.
Other Australian personalities who deserved a follow-up from The Wiggles include MAFS identity Jules Robinson, WAG and influencer Rebecca Judd, Robert Irwin, The Matildas, Jessica Rowe, Dom Dolla, G Flip, Larry Emdur and Home and Away, Ada Nicodemou.
Lara and her family are enjoying some time off with her family after returning to Australia for the Christmas holidays.
Lara Worthington has revealed the extra special Christmas gift that almost made her cry. The Sydney-born model, 37, took to her Instagram Stories to share that The Wiggles’ official Instagram account followed her on Christmas Eve.
‘No. I like America,” Lara’s husband Sam Worthington said when asked by GQ if a move was in the couple’s future. ‘America has given me everything and I’ve been here for over 20 years, man. “There’s anonymity but there’s also a real sense of community, which is great.”
The model is in Darwin with her husband, Sam Worthington, and their three children, interacting with the local wildlife.
She posted to Instagram on Friday to share a candid look at her hometown’s holiday season.
In one image, Sam, 48, held the skull of what appeared to be a crocodile while one of his children played in the background.
In another, Lara stood up and approached a crocodile, while in another she shared the pub the family stopped at, called Shenanigans.
A final photo showed the blonde on board a boat and wearing a jacket and sunglasses.
In his caption, he wrote: ‘The new Irwins’, referring to Steve ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin’s family, known for their love of crocodiles and wildlife.
The model sparked the ire of some fans after sharing photos of a seemingly harmless act.
Lara shared two photographs taken at Crocosaurus Cove, a herpetarium and aquarium located in Darwin.

The heart-stopping images showed the mother of three locked in a perspex cage, nicknamed the Cage of Death, beneath the surface of the water.
Lara wasn’t swimming alone, however, as photos showed a burly crocodile swimming toward the cage to size up Lara as a prospective meal.
Yet she seemed unfazed, gently moving her arms through the water as she confidently observed the prehistoric creatures from the safety of the cage, channeling her inner Steve Irwin.
The exciting post was met with a flood of comments from fans, many of whom praised Lara’s bravery frolicking with the apex predators.
“Wow, I still wouldn’t trust that,” one fan opined, while another chimed in with something similar: “You’re brave… there’s no hope in hell if I did this!”
However, not all fans were impressed, with some taking the time to criticize the TV personality, calling her “mocking” crocodiles.
“These amazing prehistoric creatures are kept in captivity in small ponds for humans to make fun of,” one fan chided. “This is not your vibe.”
Another fan agreed with the sentiment, arguing that the animals seemed “depressed.”
“100% agree,” they responded.
