Hundreds of carnival goers watched Zacca, dressed in a neon pink body-suit, vibrant blue pants and net tights, strut her stuff at the Rampage Stage after she gained the attention of the MC. 

“I’m not an actual granny because I don’t have any kids, but I quite like it!” Zacca told Stylist. 

Her confident moves caught the attention of German underwear brand Sloggi, which signed her up immediately to take part in the firm’s 40th anniversary celebrations.

Zacca said: “I’m still in denial this is all happening. After two hip replacements never did I think I’d dance again, let alone be signed by Sloggi.”
