Fans were left gobsmacked by how little Whigfield - the person behind the smash record Saturday Night - has appeared to defy time itself. Posts showed the singer looking as youthful as ever over 30 years after becoming the first Danish artist to bag a UK number one in the charts. Nowadays, Sannie Charlotte Carlson, Whigfield's real name, continues to dazzle, recently wowing her thousands of Instagram fans with her gorgeous makeup-free selfies. The star has continued to showcase her signature blonde tresses. The 54-year-old singer radiated with a fresh-faced glow in the snapshot, which she simply captioned: "Hola Madrid." Sannie has also been candid about her personal life, sharing the heartache of losing her beloved dog Olivia, confessing to her followers: "I haven't really felt like posting anything these past few weeks. Still a bit down after losing my beloved doggie." Despite grappling with grief, the pop star is gearing up to return to the limelight, assuring her audience: "Gonna be good to getting back to work this weekend. Anyhow, wishing you a happy weekend whatever you've up to," and ending her message with a black heart emoji, reports OK!. Her loyal fanbase was quick to shower her with compliments on her enduring allure, with adoring comments such as: "Looking better than ever!" And she offered fans a "throwback" look recently on the social media platform. Sharing an "embarrassing interview", the star seemed to cringe at her old self. The print article opened up about her holidays and explained her top beauty tip was "sleep". She also gave an insight to her holiday playlist at the time. "I listened to Bump and Grind by R Kelly on my last hols," she told the magazine. "It's saucy music and I like that. I'm quite saucy myself, actually." Fans were loving the reminiscing post in the comments section with many sharing love heart emojis. Another wrote: "The best time," alongside two emoji faces with love heart eyes. On The Songs Are Spells Podcast, Whigfield previously recounted an interesting story to host Karlyn King about her unexpected rise to stardom: "What happened was, a lot of these holidaymakers came back to Britain and started calling into radio stations..." She went on to explain the intrigue that surrounded her hit: "Everybody was calling about this Saturday Night and nobody knew what it was about. They had to go get it." This curiosity helped her single Saturday Night shoot to number one: "That was the reason why it went straight to number 1, no one had heard it." Still active in the music scene, Whigfield, who also performs under the name Naan and her given name Sannie, continues to thrill fans with comeback tours. She's not just remembered for Saturday Night; hits like Sexy Eyes and Think Of You also define her career.

90s pop star, 55, hasn't aged a day as she poses in racy leather catsuit - but can you guess who she is?
A 90s pop star looked like she hadn't aged a day as she posed in a skintight leather catsuit in a new photo. The singer, now 55, looked incredible as she slipped into the very skimpy garment while posing at a hotel window. The hitmaker added height to her frame with a pair of thigh-high leather boots and also sported a pair of sunglasses. Showing off her sun-kissed tan, she completed her look by stying her curly blonde locks into a ponytail. The singer burst onto the scene with a 1993 dance track that became a hit all over the world and was included on her debut album two years later. But can you guess who she is? That's right, it's Whigfield! The Danish singer, 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. Appearing on Lorraine in 2019, the singer admitted a healthy lifestyle has helped her maintain a youthful complexion. 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.' The singer admitted she has turned her back on mainstream music over recent years, opting instead to focus on the vibrant international club scene.

I've been writing music for other DJS.' 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. 'I wish someone would have prepared you for these things, because you're kind of just pushed out into the whole thing,' she told 9Honey. 'You need a strong personality and I think you have to be sure of what you're doing. 'Because I love being on stage - I really enjoy it sincerely and I love the audience.'
