Nineties pop sensation Whigfield<\/a> showed off her age-defying good looks while rocking a throwback style in a new Instagram post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whigfield, 55, took things back to her heyday as she wore her hair in\u00a0Princess Leia-inspired plaited buns – in a perfect nod to Nineties style.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Saturday Night hitmaker, real name\u00a0Sannie Charlotte Carlson, looked radiant as she posed for the selfie alongside a slew of other youthful snaps.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whigfield became\u00a0a household name thanks to her hit single Saturday night, a UK number one for the singer following its release in 1994.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0proved to be the Danish singer’s 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.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Whigfield became a household name thanks to her hit single Saturday night, a UK number one for the singer following its release in 1994 (pictured in 1994)<\/p>\n

Whigfield battled breast cancer over a decade ago and previously\u00a0posted a snap of her inflamed right breast online and added that she was lucky to have left the hospital following the health ordeal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She explained in her post to raise awareness for breast cancer: ‘Fighting breast cancer was a strange thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘One moment I was living my best life making new music in London, the next I was stuck in a bubble of numbness.<\/p>\n

‘Even though the operations and radiation therapies were tough, I got so much strength from seeing so many other patients including kids fighting this horrible disease, and many never left the San Raffaele hospital in Milan again.’<\/p>\n

She added: ‘I hope this pic (taken during radiation therapy) Doesn’t offend anyone but helps to get checked once in while even though you’re feeling amazing. Wish you all a healthy and happy life.’<\/p>\n

Fans thanked the singer for raising awareness of breast cancer and told her she was a brave woman. Appearing on Lorraine in 2019, the singer admitted a healthy lifestyle has helped her maintain a youthful complexion.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

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\u2019m not a naughty girl anymore.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"She <\/p>\n

She looked like she hadn’t aged a day as she posed in a skintight leather catsuit in a photo taken earlier this year\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reflecting on life away from the spotlight, Whigfield also revealed she lives on the outskirts of Milan, in the Italian countryside.<\/p>\n

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.’<\/p>\n

The singer admitted she has turned her back on mainstream music over recent years, opting instead to focus on the vibrant international club scene.<\/p>\n

She added: ‘I\u2019ve been doing house music for the past three years. I\u2019ve been writing music for other DJS.’<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

‘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.<\/a><\/p>\n

‘You need a strong personality and I think you have to be sure of what you’re doing.<\/p>\n

‘Because I love being on stage – I really enjoy it sincerely and I love the audience.’<\/p>\n
