Honey G looks almost unrecognisable in snaps she shared after taking part in a gruelling triathlon this weekend.
The comedy rapper, whose real name is Anna Georgette Gilford, shot to fame on series 13 of X Factor back in 2016. Since appearing on the talent show, the 41-year-old has overhauled her lifestyle, dropping an astonishing six dress sizes.
The star discussed her new look in an interview with Closer Magazine last year, 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."

A snap she posted to Instagram on Sunday shows the rapper posing in cycling shorts wearing a medal. She said: "I’m very proud of myself having now completed my 3rd Triathlon.
"I never knew I would become this passionate about a type of sport and I have truly fallen into triathlon by chance. Thank you @eventsatw for motivating me and encouraging me to do your events it’s built my confidence a lot and helped me to believe in myself more and show me how capable I am."
Fans rushed to praise the star for her efforts. Sammie Crouch said: "Well done girl x", while Andy Oliver said: "Wow go you". Huw Arthur Evans said: "Well done Honey G".
Her first X Factor audition saw her perform Missy Elliott's Work It, earning her three 'yes' votes. She finished the series in fifth place and took part in the X Factor tour that year. Anna, who now works as an estate agent, appeared on Celebrity Coach Trip earlier this year.
