X Factor’s Honey G is unrecognisable after two stone weight loss after lockdown
X Factor star Honey G looks unrecognisable in her latest social media posts after shedding two stone.
Honey G – whose real name is Anna Gilford – took to Twitter to unveil her new appearance after taking up triathlon training.
The former reality TV star was clearly keen to show off the results of her weight loss as she wore a lycra all-in-one and posed with her hands on her hips.
The wannabe rapper completed her look with a blue LA baseball cap and a pair of swimming goggles after participating in her second aquathon.
Honey G recently took part in a 33km running event to raise cash for NHS Charities Together, and she now plans to do her first triathlon on September 12, which will see her swim 750m, cycle 20km and run 5km.
In a video posted to YouTube by Active Training World this week, the reality TV star was seen excitedly chatting about taking part in her second aquathon.
“It was an amazing experience. We’re just waiting for the times to be uploaded but I definitely know that that was a PB,” she said.
“I was a lot faster than last time, I’ve been having some swimming coaching lessons. My swimming has definitely improved.”
Speaking to the Daily Star Online about her fitness regime, she explained: “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 G – who appeared on The X Factor in 2016 – is running between 18 and 20km every week and has also bought herself a spinning bike to get in some extra workouts at home.
But she admitted it wasn’t until she tried on her triathon tri-suit that she noticed how much weight she’d lost.
“Now I have noticed that by doing these events has helped me lose weight, I want to carry on,” she added.
