A nineties pop icon who found fame thirty years ago with an iconic number one single looks like she hasn’t aged a day since.
Danish singer Whigfield, 54, real name Sannie Charlotte Carlson, became a household name thanks to her hit single Saturday night, a UK number one for the singer following its release in 1994.
It proved to be her biggest success on British shores and even earned its own dance routine, which became a staple at primary school discos and family parties up and down the country.
Whigfield was just 25 years old when the chart-topping tune was released, but three decades on and into her fifties, the star looks as youthful as ever.
On Saturday, the singer treated fans to a slew of Instagram snaps of her performing at Glasgow and Newcastle’s Pride events.

Whigfield previously said she was ‘really honoured’ that Saturday Night became so popular, but wishes she’d have been more prepared for her sudden rise to fame
She said: ‘The secret is do everything different to what you did in the 90s. I sleep every night at 10, I eat healthy and I exercise everyday. I’m not a naughty girl anymore.’
Reflecting on life away from the spotlight, Whigfield also revealed she lives on the outskirts of Milan, in the Italian countryside.
She said: ‘In the old days I was just so busy. I was sometimes promoting three singles at the same time. It was mad. Now I stop and smell the roses.’

‘Because I love being on stage – I really enjoy it sincerely and I love the audience.’
