Honey G looks amazing as she records her new single

Former X Factor contestant Honey G has been feeling herself and is boasting about how great she looks after ditching her traditional cap and sunglasses look for a glamorous makeover.

The 40-year-old rapper looks sensational after giving herself a glow up – and dropping an astonishing six dress sizes after overhauling her life and getting from a size 18 to a size 12.

Honey – whose real name is Anna Georgette Gilford – shot to fame in 2016 as a ‘joke’ contestant on the ITV show which was finally axed last year.

But the reality star is certainly getting the last laugh as she has transformed herself from a dowdy cap wearing laughing stock to a glamorous vision of health.

Discussing her style transformation, Honey recently told Closer magazine: “I used to wear loose and baggy clothes that went up to a size 18, but I’ve thrown most of them away as my taste has matured.

“Now I wear outfits I wouldn’t have dreamt of wearing, and I can fit into nice underwear from Victoria’s Secret.”

She added: “It’s given me a massive confidence boost. I feel like I’ve finally got the sex factor!”

Taking to social media recently, Honey shared a snap of herself looking glamorous in a cream coloured minidress and tan coloured heels – while allowing her glossy hair to cascade around her shoulders.

The snap was a hit with fans – with one gushing in the comments of the post: “Holy moly!! You look incredible” alongside a fire and red heart emoji.

Another gushed: “Damn honey G is a babe !” along with a heart eyed face emoji.

And a further fan commented: “Wow Honey G, stunning!!”

Honey has been keeping fans firmly abreast of her health and fitness progress – sharing snaps of herself dressed in lycra and running epic races.

Uploading one snap to Instagram of herself looking sweaty and triumphant, Honey wrote: “I recently completed my 2nd Triathlon at @boxendpark. A big Thank You to @eventsatw.”

One astonished fan wrote: “What an amazing transformation well done you.”

While her hardcore exercise routines and triathlons have no doubt helped Honey transform her figure, she has also recently discussed how a change in her diet also helped her transform her figure.

She said in an interview: “I watch what I eat, and make sure I’m not constantly eating carbs. I do a lot of cardio and will eat pasta, but it’s all about portion size.

“I’d never have a big plate of fried chips, I’ll stick to a few tablespoons of rice instead, and have smaller potatoes.”

She also explained in a recent chat to the Daily Star that she utilised lockdown to transform herself.

She said: “Lockdown has proved to me that doing lots of exercise can make you lose weight.

“I went to see a top obesity specialist and a dietician in the past and I was trying to lose weight by changing my diet but during lockdown I combined changing my diet and doing a large amount of exercise.

“I’ve been probably doing more exercise in lockdown than I have in my whole life.”
