She said: "My most gruelling sporting event to date, The Bedford 20 mile run, that was tough but crazy and I love running so much!"

Honey previously 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."

Fans flooded the comments to congratulate Honey after the achievement.

Heidi said: "Looking great"

ATW posted: "Great running today,"

Elsie commented : "i’m so proud of you Honey G"

Andy messaged: "Get in you"

Celena said: "Well done"
