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!!"

Liam Gallagher's cheeky reference after being filmed outside portaloo by fan
At the height of Oasis' fame in the 90s and 00s, the rock band were known to be big party animals. Liam Gallagher made a cheeky drug reference to fans who spotted him heading to a backstage portaloo toilet at Oasis Live 25' reunion tour. Never one to shy away from the camera, the 52-year-old waved to get fans' attention after he seen them filming him while he was outside the toilet. Alluding to his wild younger years, the Oasis star then mimicked snorting cocaine multiple times before heading into the toilet. At the height of Oasis' fame in the 90s and 00s, the rock band were known to be big party animals with drink and drugs being a huge part of their rock and roll star status. The Gallagher brothers have since scaled it down with their antics with Liam previously admitting he had stopped drinking ahead of their reunion tour in order to 'get healthy'. However, getting healthy does not mean he's lost his sense of humour as fans praised his light hearted nature after the clip was posted on TikTok by user 1981quarterpounder, the Metro reports. In the comments, one social media user joked: "What mysterious activity is he suggesting to us" while another wrote: "Just Liam being Liam." A third penned: "Never change. Honestly made me laugh so much." Meanwhile, other people were concerned the Oasis star was 'setting a bad example' for younger fans, sparking debate about his 'sense of humour'. One disapproving person remarked: "A good example for the young generation". Another fan responded to this comment, saying: "Not his job to bring kids up properly. Fair enough if he was straight up encouraging it but he's not so". Other fans argued Liam could have simply been struggling with hayfever or a cold and was miming blowing his nose instead. One joked: "He's trying to say he's going to blow his nose as his hayfever is giving him some grief… what else could he be saying?" Another chimed in: "Poor Liam suffering from hay fever, must be bad constantly blowing your nose when your trying to perform." Liam often made headlines back in the day for his tendency to overindulge in drugs and destroy one or two hotel rooms in his wake. Meanwhile, his older brother Noel, 58, who was generally seen as more reserved. Liam developed a reputation of causing a riot at after parties with drink and drugs fuelling his antics. He once smashed up the studio they were recording in with a cricket bat, which also ended up being used by Noel to whack his sibling on the head. In their Supersonic biography, Michael Spencer Jones, the photographer behind Oasis' first three album covers, said a local repairman declared they hadn't seen damage like that 'since Ozzy Osbourne and Sabbath were recording [t]here.'

Speaking of the (What's The Story) Morning Glory album launch party, Liam said: "As soon as a line went up my nose, I could have been anywhere, mate". Speaking to The Guardian in 2017, the Champagne Supernova singer shared: "There are a few of my mates that ain't here no more, through drugs. There are a few that are in the nick. "So I think I wouldn't have got a proper job because I'm not that clever with that stuff. So I'd have been digging or dead or really badly into drugs, which would obviously lead to being dead. "Rock 'n' roll saved my life. And I am forever in debt. I am forever in debt to rock 'n' roll, and I would never, ever think of doing another form of music. Ever."

Rollercoaster chaser could still set record despite Storm Floris setback
Dean Stokes, 36, originally organised a trip to go on 120 rollercoasters in 32 theme parks in 16 days across the UK, travelling alongside his friend and former colleague Simon Fasolo, 44. Mr Stokes, from Brighton, East Sussex, worked for five years at Google before leaving the corporate ladder to set up his own business delivering technology training, having grown tired of being unable to try new things. The former UK head of Google for Education believes people should be encouraged to do what they love and has taken time away from work to complete and document the challenge on social media. Dean Stokes with his wife Caroline (Dean Stokes/PA) But he has since run into problems, with Storm Floris closing several theme parks less than a third of the way into his journey. Despite the route not going to plan, Mr Stokes has been contacted by Guinness World Records, who say it could still be possible to set a new record. He said: 'We were scuppered by Storm Floris, as two of the parks we visited did not have coasters operating because of wind and rain. 'The day I was in north Devon, we were meant to get on eight rollercoasters, but I only managed one. 'Most of the rides were shut down for safety reasons, which is understandable but it was really frustrating when we got there. 'I originally didn't reach out to the Guinness World Records because I just hadn't had the time in planning all the trip and I'm not really doing this to break a record, I'm doing it for fun. 'But two days ago, they emailed me asking if I'm interested in it, and I said yes – I would love to hang a world record at my office and have it in the background of my video calls. 'So, despite Storm Floris setting us back on the original plan, we could still break a record. We're just working out what the details are. It may be something like most rollercoasters ridden in a week – I'm trying to work with them to figure out what's a good record that we can set.' Mr Stokes says he has been overwhelmed by the support both on social media and in person at the theme parks. He and Mr Fasolo have been recognised by several fellow thrill-seekers and ride operators. Mr Stokes even had a follower join him for the first ride, the Pinball X at Flamingo Park in Hastings, East Sussex. He said: 'Before Storm Floris, it was going really well. Someone was even there to meet me in Hastings – a kid called Jack and his family. 'I was so surprised when I turned up and there was someone there – he said 'I'm here to ride this with you'. 'Jack said they were planning on going to a different theme park but decided to come to Hastings to join me, which was lovely. 'One of the ride operators recognised me from the videos on social media as well, which has all been so surprising but really amazing. 'I've been going live on TikTok, so when I drive quite I'm often doing quick livestreams talking to people that are joining on there. 'We're starting to build a bit of a crowd for Thorpe Park, which would be the last park of the trip – I think we're going to get a little bit of a group together to ride my last ride together which is fun.' Mr Stokes maintains that it is important to encourage people to follow their passion and not to worry about what others think when pursuing something they enjoy. He said: 'The big reason that I'm doing it is that I really think that people should just get out there and do more of what they love. 'We spend too much time these days feeling embarrassed about things that we want to do, or not pushing ourselves to do something because we're worried about whatever people might think. 'In fact, being confident to go out and do what you want is super important.' A spokesperson for Guinness World Records said they 'would like to wish Dean the best of luck in his exciting rollercoaster record attempt and look forward to receiving his application and evidence'. There is no current record-holder for the most rollercoasters ridden in a week, and Mr Stokes has been set a target of 30 to claim the inaugural title. For the purposes of his attempt, a rollercoaster is defined as a ride which features a car or cars which run along a fixed 'linear' track or rails. This includes so-called 'kiddie coasters', but excludes theme park trains and 'wet' rides, such as log flumes.

Girlfriend of Ibiza Final Boss outs herself as viral dance king storms internet
The internet is still obsessing over Jack Kay and his distinctive haircut which caught widespread attention on TikTok. The man behind the viral"Ibiza Final Boss" phenomenon has been unmasked – and it turns out, he's not partying solo. Jack Kay became an unexpected internet sensation after a clip of him confidently cutting shapes on a packed Ibiza dancefloor went viral. Dressed in a black vest, gold chain, and shades – and clutching a baby pink cup – Jack stole the show. But it wasn't just his dance moves that got people talking, reports the Mirror. His medieval-looking bob haircut, which had some viewers convinced he was wearing a helmet, sent social media into meltdown. One commenter even quipped he was heading for the 'Battle of Hastings, not the beach.' Now, 23-year-old Alisha Cook from Durham has come forward to claim the viral star as her boyfriend. The debt collector posted a series of TikToks showing the pair loved-up and partying together, including clips of Jack kissing her cheek and the two of them dancing side by side. She captioned one: 'POV: Ya boyfriend's now known as the Ibiza Final Boss.' The video has since been made private – but not before racking up thousands of views and a barrage of hilarious comments. One viewer joked: 'At least you know he didn't cheat – he's been filmed from every angle on TikTok just having a ball.' Another added: 'Have a word with his barber. I don't know how he leaves the house.' A third asked the question on everyone's mind: 'So was the haircut a choice, or did the barber do him dirty?' Far from hiding from the limelight, Jack is riding the wave. He's posted a follow-up TikTok, once again showcasing his now-iconic moves – gold chain gleaming, sunglasses on, and a pal with an arm slung round his shoulder.

He's even inspired fan art, with one admirer painting a full portrait of Jack and captioning it: 'Excellent use of free will if I do say so myself.' Jack's now being stopped in the street for selfies, and even Tony Truman – co-owner of Ocean Beach Ibiza – grabbed a snap with him. One punter reportedly mistook him for DJ and presenter Charlie Sloth.
