X Factor star Honey G has spilled the beans on her ‘sexy’ new look after dropping two stone.
The 42-year-old rapper found fame on the ITV talent show back in 2016 and is still playing gigs.
But she looks very different to her X Factor days as she channels a ‘sexier’ new look away from her signature baseball caps, sunglasses and bomber jackets.
In the seven years since the show, Honey – real name Anna Georgette Gilford – says she has fallen in love with fitness.
And it is this that has seen the weight fall off and inspired her to switch to dresses and more tight fitting clothes.

She ended up coming fifth on X Factor 2016 (Syco/Thames/Dymond)In a chat with the Daily Star, Honey said the weight loss had done wonders for her confidence.
She shared: “After my weight loss, I’ve been more inspired to dress in clothes that make me feel more attractive, a bit more sexy, a bit more tight fitting.
“But listen, I can wear whatever I want. If I want to wear a dress, I can. If I want to wear a bomber jacket, I can.”
Honey, who describes herself as a ‘rap artist, actress and TV personality’, also revealed she didn’t realise quite how much weight she had lost.
“It did drop off quite a lot. But it’s really exciting, my fitness journey. I enjoy working out so much. Running and working out is really my happy place,” she added.

In the caption, she wrote: “Been hitting the gym a lot recently with Strength and high resistance training.
“It’s helped me to completely change my body shape and given me body confidence as a result.”
Giving her followers a tip, she continued: “Did you know high resistance training can reset your metabolic hormones and hence help with weight loss coupled with a healthy diet?
“Are you currently reaching your fitness goals? It’s easier than you think if you give it a try...”

She has lost two stone since the X Factor (Instagram)And Honey is so committed to her fitness, she revealed she has taken on the six-pack challenge in a bid to get rock hard abs.
As well as running and gym sessions, she has enlisted the help of a personal trainer to achieve her goal.
She is even preparing to take on the London Marathon this weekend on Sunday, April 23.
Honey shared despite losing weight and noticing a change in her body, her ultimate goal is to feel confident enough to wear a bikini.
"I really want abs, I do have a little bit of stomach fat and it really bothers me,” she said.
“At the minute, I wouldn't put a bikini on, I'd wear a swimming costume and my stomach has got flatter, but I'd love to be able to not be ashamed of my body.”
