Now, she’s a pop culture sensation, racking up up to 150,000 views on videos of her cuts.

Sporting a leopard-print jumpsuit and fur coat, while armed with a megaphone and a speaker, Remeaise danced her heart out to liven up the runners.

She set up at the famous 10-mile wall of the 26.2-mile race to offer encouragement and energy.

However, she says it was a “split decision” to go to the London Marathon for the first time.

She has racked up thousands of views on TikTok for her performance dancing to Technotronic’s Pump up the Jam.

After spotting her on social media, Jam Shed Wines hired her grandmother as a brand ambassador.

Bosses dubbed her “the perfect embodiment of their unapologetically different ethos”.

Fast forward to now, Remeaise starred in a music video for Jam Shed Wines and Star.One.

“The last few weeks have been a whirlwind,” says Remeaise.

“I still can’t believe my dance moves have gotten so much attention online.

“But I’m so grateful for everything that came after.

“I’ve always loved hip hop and drum n bass.

“I used to dance to Pump up the Jam in my aerobics class back then.”

Remeaise even won the title of Dancing Gran of the London Marathon.

People called her “the best cheerleader ever” and praised her “fabulous energy.”

The YouTube video of Remeaise’s professional dance debut has racked up 155,000 views over the past week.

On TikTok, Remeaise’s dance videos have surpassed 75,000 views each, with her garnering over 21,500 likes on them.
