90s pop legend unrecognisable as she joins TikTok and shows off room full of hit records – can you guess who she is?

The Sun3 days ago
SHE burst onto the pop scene with a giant smile, infectious energy and hits that had school discos in a chokehold – now she's joined TikTok looking barely recognisable. Can you guess who she is?
Posting under her stage name, the performer promised her adoring fans that they could ask her anything about her hits and musical career and she would "spill the beans".

Did you guess correctly? It's pop star Lolly, of course! Real name Anna Kumble, the singer the video-sharing app and stunned fans by showing off a room stacked with gold discs and hit singles.
Best known for her 1999 smash "Viva La Radio" and a high-energy cover of "Mickey", Lolly enjoyed a string of Top 20 singles and two albums before vanishing from the pop spotlight in the early noughties.
But now, the singer is back, this time with a TikTok debut that has viewers doing a double-take.
One user gushed: "Queen, your songs were everything! Your GJWHF cover is so carefree, used to wish I was having all that fun in the video when I was little! Been asking Mighty Hoopla to book you for years!"
Another person wrote: "I love this takes me back to the good days!" While someone else added: "Love that your here!!! So many bops!! Per Sempre Amore is one of my all time favourite songs."
In her new video, Lolly walks into a vibrant pastel-toned room filled with her own memorabilia, including CDs, vinyl, framed records.
Looking fresh-faced and still rocking her signature megawatt smile, the singer added another video showcasing some of her smash hits.
Although she left the charts behind two decades ago, Anna's return has sparked nostalgia online, with TikTok users quickly clocking who she is as the video racked up views.
Dressed in casual clothes, a far cry from the candy-coloured costumes of her youth, she still looked exactly the same.
After stepping back from music, Lolly went on to work in TV presenting and musical theatre, but it's clear her love for pop hasn't fizzled.
While she hasn't announced a comeback (yet), fans are already speculating about whether this could be the start of something more.
One user replied: "LOLLY FOR MIGHTY HOOPLA 2026!" To which the singer replied: "I would love that!!"

'That's something I've done for the past 40 years,' she explained in an interview with Byrdie. Tips to age well There are a number of habits you can take up to care for your health and wellbeing as you age. Age UK shared the following tips: Do things that you enjoy everyday - whether that's cooking, seeing friends or enjoying a good book Stay hydrated - drink six to eight cups of water a day Eat plenty of fruit and veggies to lower your risk of heart disease and certain cancers, have beans, pulses, fish, eggs and meat to repair your body after injury, starchy carbs for energy dairy to help keep bones strong Manage long-term health conditions to prevent them progressing or having a greater impact on your health Quit smoking and reduce alcohol intake to no more than 14 units a week Make mental health a priority and get treatment for it, as it can also impact physical health Make sure you're getting quality sleep Keep socialising - and call a friend or loved one if you can't make it out the house Be physically active to lower the risk of depression and dementia, heart disease, stroke, Parkinson's and some cancers 'I feel like it's really contributed to my skin feeling fresh and smooth.' The blonde beauty also uses moisturisers with nourishing ingredients such as primrose and almond, to keep her skin feeling supple. In her youth, Christie revealed that she often forgot to wear sun cream. However, she now makes sure to wear it every day, as it is one of the best things you can do to stop your skin from ageing prematurely. No botox Christie has revealed that she is not a fan of Botox, due to bad experiences she has had with the cosmetic procedure. Speaking about her negative experience with Botox during an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, she said: "I don't Botox. I like the movement. "I like to be able to have expression and move my face. "I only did Botox once and had a bad experience with it and I never did it again." She added that the procedure gave her a "droopy eyebrow". Fillers and laser Despite being anti-Botox, Christie has revealed that she has tried out other cosmetic procedures, such as filler and lasers. However she aims to maintain a "natural" looking face. "I mainly do lasers,' she said in an interview with People. "I don't try to get rid of every wrinkle. "I've dabbled with fillers and I go to my doctor in the city,' she added. "I don't want to look "done" or anything." Healthy diet Christie has been a vegetarian since she was just 13, and eats a breakfast of raw oats with berries and nuts every day. "For lunch, I go into greens and do a salad, then add a protein like a bean or nuts," she told The Cut. "Dinner is more of the same except maybe I'll put my vegetables on a bean pasta, rice, grain, or quinoa." She also limits her sugar intake, but is strongly opposed to dieting. Fitness regimen Christie is a huge fan of fitness, particularly spin classes and cycling. "When I'm in a place where I can get on a bicycle and just go for a long ride, I love doing that, but I also like to jump on a Peloton or to take a spin class of some sort,' she told People. "I do a 20- or a 30-minute class several days a week, and then I'll do some of the floor exercises and arm and core [the other days]". She also previously shared her love of yoga with Women's Health. "Every time I'm doing it, I've got both dogs aiming for my face, trying to give me kisses," Christie said. 6 Christie eats a healthy vegetarian diet Credit: Instagram 6 The model has been wowing fans since the 1970s Credit: Splash
