A gran went viral on TikTok after she shared a 12-second video of her dancing the popular Cha-Cha Slide with her husband. Erika Rischko, 81, from Langenfeld, Germany uploaded the video for a laugh but it proved a hit on the social sharing app, which is hugely popular among teenagers and is best known for dance and lip-syncing routines.

The viral video has amassed over 2 million views and Erika says she is glad the video making a fool of herself is cheering people up during the lockdown. “Move and do something!

Don’t just sit in a corner and mope. That’s just the worst,” she told Reuters. Erika who has been dubbed the ‘fitness gran’ is making the best use of her new found TikTok fame by sharing other videos of her fitness and dance routine.
