After nearly a decade away from the iconic purple skivvy, Jeff Fatt is coming back to the band that made him famous.

That's right, the original Purple Wiggle is back with The Wiggles.

The legendary children's performers have asked Jeff to step back into his old role after the current Purple Wiggle, Lachlan Gillespie, welcomed twin girls.

Lachie is taking a bit of time off for paternity leave but that meant The Wiggles were going to be short on performers for their four-part series, The Wiggly World of Dance Classes.

Who better to get in for the limited time than the bloke who first donned the purple skivvy.

Jeff was famous for always being asleep while filming and officially left the band in 2012.

The Wiggles will doing a live concert every week, which will be broadcast by Big W.

The first show will air at 9:30am today (Wednesday, September 16) and the final show will be broadcast on October 7. They'll be on the retailer's Facebook page so don't miss out seeing Jeff in his prime.

Lachlan seemed to be overcome with joy when his daughters were born.

Writing on Instagram, the 34-year-old entertainer said: "Oh Lulu and Lottie, your mummy and daddy love you with all we have - you are both so beautiful - and I would love to sing to you both forever."

Lachlan and his partner Dana met on set while filming a Wiggles DVD programme and hit it off right away. They announced their engagement in April this year.
