Contortionist teenager dubbed “Snakegirl”

A teenager nicknamed Snakegirl is wooing audiences around the world with her amazing contortionist skills.

Nokulunga "Lunga" Buthelezi is so incredibly flexible that, at just three months old, her mother found her fast asleep in bed - with her legs tucked behind her neck.

Six years later she became a circus act amazing fans with a series of eye-watering gyrations.

In a routine for talk show This Morning, Lunga, 18, bent over backwards and twisted her head in the opposite direction.

Dressed in her trademark snakeskin costume, she then flipped over and popped her head through her legs.

The bendy African youngster is currently performing in front of thousands of shocked fans in Afrika! Afrika! - a $8.4million spectacular show featuring various other circus acts.

"IÕm in London for the next three months and then we're moving on to other places," she said.
