Tiffani Thiessen stole people's hearts in the 90s when she starred in Saved by the Bell, and she's still doing the same 30 years on.

The US actor, who played Kelly Kapowski in the hit sitcom, was pretty much every lad of a certain age's first crush, and that's no different in 2025, as she shocked fans with a rather revealing Instagram video recently.

For those of you who weren't alive to witness it, the 90s were a wonderful time, where the cost of living crisis didn't exist, and you could go and rent a video from Blockbuster on a Friday night.

There was also some great TV, including the likes of Friends, That '70s Show, and of course, Saved by the Bell, which aired until 1993.

Thiessen starred in Saved by the Bell alongside the late Dustin Neil Diamond, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley, with some of the cast having reunited in 2023, much to the delight of fans.

Where is Tiffani Thiessen now?

The teen idol, now 51, works with food and hosted her own cooking channel for several years, while she has also released two cookbooks, including Pull Up a Chair: Recipes from My Family to Yours, and Here We Go Again.

On her kitchen inspiration, she said: "I would always watch my mother and grandmother and aunt, all the women in my family, cooking in the kitchen together. And I just wanted to be with them.

"It was me as a little girl, wanting to hang out with the cool women in my family and doing what they were doing."

Tiffani recently shared a cheeky clip on her Instagram of her showing off her naked carrot cake recipe in her birthday suit.

She captioned the video: "When it’s hot out, you gotta get naked. Recipe in the comments if you wanna get naked too."

Fans were clearly loving it, with one writing: "Getting thirst trapped by my 90s tv crush was not on my 2025 bingo card but here we are."

Another said: "Still aging like a fine wine."

A third commented: "Did Tiffani just De-age again? Looks like she turned the clock back another 10 years, must be the cake."

Meanwhile, the star has also spoken out on ageing, revealing in 2023 that she loves her 'laugh lines'.

She said: "I like my laugh lines. And I call them laugh lines and happy lines because that's what they are, you know? And I also cried a lot, too. So they probably were created for that, too. But that's life. And I earned them.

"I have a teenage daughter, I don't want her to see that I'm scared [about] turning 50 and that I need to change my face or anything."
