In an interview for The Courier-Mail’s online series, Tiny Edition, where children interview celebrities, the former Wiggle tells nine-year-old Saffron Deacon her school experience.

Emma Watkins in her young school years as the star opens up about stories of her childhood in the Tiny Edition series.

“At school I was a little bit picked on because I was a bit nerdy … I loved school a lot and I used to wear glasses, well, I still wear glasses now,” she tells Saffie before offering her best ways to handle bullies.

“I think some children don’t know how to relate to other children who have something different to them but my advice is to always be yourself and know your family and your support network around you love you for who you are.”
