Honey revealed to the Daily Star how she was inspired to change her look during the lockdown after she consulted an obesity specialist. 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."

Honey discussed her new look in an interview with Closer Magazine when she revealed the makeover has given her a huge confidence boost. She said: “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. It's given me a massive confidence boost. I feel like I've finally got the sex factor!”
