Ms Jones, a fan of The Wiggles since childhood, worked on Page for 20 minutes with the RSL Club's public access defibrillator, delivering three shocks before paramedics arrived.

"It was really, really scary definitely," she said.

Ms Jones said she felt relieved and happy after a photograph of Page in hospital giving a thumbs up sign was posted on social media around noon on Saturday. “I hope his chest isn’t too sore,” she said.

"It’s only through the efforts of the bystanders before we arrived that he’s alive today," he said. "It was actually an extraordinary story of survival."

Mr Parsell urged people to acquire essential life saving skills: "The more people learn CPR and use defibrillators, the more lives we’re actually going to save." He said Ms Jones should be congratulated for having the courage to step forward and save Page’s life. "It’s only through her efforts and the other people CPR that Greg’s alive," he said. Mr Parsell said Page suffered a blockage of one of the main blood vessels in his heart, which resulted in a cardiac arrest. The group's manager Paul Field expressed his gratitude to the first responders who performed CPR on Page, who suffers from orthostatic intolerance – an often undiagnosed circulatory system disorder that affects blood flow.

"He was in such a serious way [Friday] night, he needed CPR ... he stopped breathing a number of times. It was quite dramatic," he said outside Westmead Hospital. Field told Seven News that Page asked him if he had finished the show. "I said, 'yes mate, you finished the show. Bit of a melodramatic exit but you did finish the show'." The sold-out over-18s reunion show was being livestreamed at the time, with all proceeds going to the Australian Red Cross and WIRES following the devastating bushfires. The Wiggles' second fundraising show went on with "Emma Wiggle" the first female member of the group who joined it in 2012 when Page left because of his health. The original Wiggles line-up of Page, Anthony Field, Cook and Jeff Fatt were performing on Friday night, the first of two planned fundraisers for the bushfire relief effort.

It was the first time they had appeared onstage together since 2016, when they performed an adults-only 25th-anniversary event as a fundraiser for returned services charity Soldier On. "Greg's main concern was that the show tonight should go on.⁣ Let’s do it for Greg whilst raising much needed funds," the group said in a statement. Page has spoken publicly before about suffering from orthostatic intolerance, an often undiagnosed circulatory system disorder that affects blood flow. In his memoir Now and Then: The Life-Changing Journey of the Original Yellow Wiggle, Page talks about how the illness forced him to leave The Wiggles in 2006, after 15 years of touring the world with his best friends. He returned to The Wiggles briefly in 2012, but retired again the same year. People with orthostatic intolerance lack a nervous system that adequately moves the blood around their body, so that when they sit or stand for any length of time, blood instead pools in their pelvis or leg regions, causing them to faint.
