A pop icon from the 90s who rose to fame thirty years ago with an iconic number one single seems to have not aged a day since then.
Danish singer Whigfield, 54, real name Sannie Charlotte Carlson, became a household name thanks to her hit single Saturday Night, which became a number 1 hit in the UK after its release in 1994.
It became her biggest hit in Britain and even earned her her own dance routine, which became a regular feature at primary school discos and family parties across the country.
Whigfield was only 25 years old when the song was released, but thirty years later, now in his fifties, the star still looks as youthful as ever.
On Saturday, the singer treated her fans to a bunch of Instagram photos from her performances at Pride events in Glasgow and Newcastle.

The singer joked in her caption: ‘Lucky what a #saturday. Had the best time @glasgows_pride @barrowland_ballroom and @newcastlepride yesterday.
‘Thank you for all the hard work behind the scenes and to the wonderful partygoers who came out to make this day special.
‘Luckily @missroryblvd’s shoe size was big enough to fill all that glory. Happy hangover boys.’

Whigfield previously said she felt “really honored” that Saturday Night became so popular, but she wished she had been better prepared for her sudden fame.
She said: ‘The secret is to do everything differently than I did in the ’90s. I go to bed at 10 o’clock every night, I eat healthy and I exercise every day. I’m not a naughty girl anymore.’
Whigfield reflected on her life outside the spotlight and also revealed that she lives on the outskirts of Milan, in the Italian countryside.
She said, “I used to be so busy. Sometimes I’d be promoting three singles at once. It was crazy. Now I stop and smell the roses.”

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