X Factor's Honey G unrecognisable as she unveils athletic frame after lifestyle overhaul

Former X Factor star Honey G looks worlds away from her old self as she was recently spotted out on a run in North London.

The former reality TV favourite, 41, whose real name is Anna Georgette Gilford, beamed as she showed off her athletic legs in a recent Instagram post - with her fans flocking to shower her with praise and gushing compliments.

Honey G, who shot to fame in 2016 after she made it to the X Factor live shows with her catchy rap tunes and eccentric fashion sense, appears to have incorporated running into her daily routine, with the rapper showing off her athletic figure in the social media post.

The star recently revealed her pride after she completed a 20-mile run through Bedford.

After ditching her glamorous lifestyle for a more chilled out daily routine, Honey G has clearly fallen in love with running, and it has completely turned her life around.

"Wow I still can’t believe I ran 20 miles," she wrote on Instagram.

"I never thought I would be able to run 20 miles, but I just did and I’m incredibly proud! It’s safe to say I’m pooped!"

"My most gruelling sporting event to date, The Bedford 20 mile run. That was tough but crazy and I love running so much."

Honey G has completely overhauled her lifestyle in recent months, and has went through a weight loss transformation as a result.

Since taking up daily exercise, specifically running, the former X Factor legend has never felt more confident and sure in herself.

"The weight loss has definitely given me the confidence to put myself out there," she recently told Daily Star.

"I've always had a bit of a complex about my weight and now I can shop in the likes of Topshop and Miss Selfridge."

Honey finished fifth on the 2016 series of the X Factor and shortly after the series ended, she was was signed by Simon Cowell's label Syco.

Sadly, Honey G was dropped from the label shortly after, when her debut The Honey G Show flopped.

Despite any other huge opportunities coming her way, Honey remains positive that she will 'make it' one day soon, adding that she believes that she belongs on stage.
