Gerogie Toffolo took to Instagram on Wednesday to profess her love for Swedish pop legends ABBA.
The television personality, 27, took to the microphone and belted out the group’s hit Dancing Queen at their interactive museum in their native Sweden.
Donning a vintage inspired playsuit the blonde beauty threw her arms up in the air as she knew every word, calling the evening a ‘life highlight’.
‘This is a life highlight!’: Georgia Toffolo, 27, donned a 1970s jumpsuit to sing backstage at ABBA’s interactive museum in their native Sweden on Wednesday
Georgia – who has been in the city filming and celebrating Midsummer – boogied in the mini recording studio that is situated in the museum in Stockholm, which is packed with memorabilia of the band.
The museum’s website states: ‘ABBA The Museum is an interactive museum where you can virtually try on ABBA’s costumes, sing, play, mix original music and become the fifth member of ABBA by performing on our large stage together with Björn, Benny, Frida and Agnetha.’
And Georgia was certainly having the time of her life as the camera panned from Benny Andersson’s piano over to the former Made In Chelsea star who sung passionately into the microphone.

Georgia playfully acted out the famous hit, pointing at pals before collapsing into fits of giggles.
The reality star looked gorgeous in a perfectly chosen floral belted playsuit, which clung to her fantastic figure.
Opting for a simple palette of make-up for the evening, the star let her blonde tresses fall down her back poker straight.
She captioned the fun clip: ‘For people who know me well, this is genuinely a life highlight’.

And while Georgia was living her best life over in then band’s homeplace of Sweden, over in London, Abba have been entertaining fans at their ABBA Voyage concert residency, which launched last month in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford.
The concert, which was five years in the making, sees the audience transported back to ABBA’s 1970s and 1980s prime as the uncanny avatars belted out classics including SOS and Mamma Mia as they were backed up by a ten-piece live band.
The Daily Mail’s Adrian Thrills heaped praise on the show, which is booking until May 2023, as he gave it a generous four-star review, commending the avatars for their ‘realistic’ look and ‘rocking’ performance.
The critic said the highlights included a dance medley featuring Lay All Your Love On Me and Summer Night City, their performance of Waterloo – which saw the avatars projected against vintage footage of ABBA winning Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton in 1974.

Describing the show as ‘a concert like no other’, he wrote: ‘For those lucky enough to witness last night’s opening show of Abba’s virtual London residency, there was only one conclusion: Mamma Mia! How can we resist you?’
But he noted the inevitable downside of an avatar-led concert, as he admitted that there couldn’t be any interaction with the audience or spontaneous moments as normally seen in a live performance.
‘The staging was undoubtedly spectacular, but there are still innate shortcomings in any virtual show,’ he concluded.

The realistic avatars were created using motion capture and other technology by Industrial Light and Magic, the special effects firm founded by Star Wars director George Lucas.
Over five weeks, the band recorded their movements with 160 cameras trained on them and an 85-person crew manning the operation, which were then used as reference points to create the avatars.
An impressive one billion computing hours were then collectively logged from 1,000 special effects pioneers across four different studios to create the end result, ABBA Voyage.
During the concert, the ABBAtars appeared on a 65million pixel screen, with lights and other effects creating a futuristic 2D performance, made more realistic by an accompanying ten-piece band.
