Simon admitted he thought it was a joke when he was first offered the gig.
‘I thought I was being wound up when they said (the campaign) was me and The Wiggles because I know who they are, obviously,’ he told The Herald Sun.
‘It’s a crazy combination of me and them and it worked out great.’
He added: ‘I’ll get to know them more now because I’ve got a son who’s seven years old. I really respect what The Wiggles have achieved.’
