X Factor’s Honey G looks unrecognisable after weight loss and dramatic transformation
Honey G has lost almost two stone and looked incredible in new photos.
The rapper, 40, dropped down to a size 12 during the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns in the UK.
She recently shared a glimpse of her new physique in a skintight leotard after completing a triathlon, which consisted of a 750m swim, 20km cycle and a 5km run.
Speaking her weight loss, she told Daily Star: “The weight loss has definitely given me the confidence to put myself out there.
“I’ve always had a bit of a complex about my weight and now I can shop in the likes of Topshop and Miss Selfridge.
“I used to be Size 16 to 18 but I recently bought a pair of size 12 trousers which feels so good.”
Honey – real name Anna Gilford – finished fifth on 2016’s X Factor and was signed by Simon Cowell’s label Syco.
But she was axed when her debut release The Honey G Show flopped.
The TV star had thought she could combine a music career with selling homes and joined an estate agent in 2019.
But she was sacked after just a few months, telling The Sun: “They didn’t realise how famous I am.

“My boss had told me that he was expecting me to give up my music career which I am obviously not prepared to do.
“Music is my love and passion, and my ambitions are about being a worldwide music artist.
“I had no intention of being an estate agent long-term. I was hoping that a big opportunity for my music career would come in. I do believe I belong on stage.”
