Honey G has wowed fans as she showed off her weight loss to complete a "gruelling" sporting achievement.

The comedy rapper's real name is Anna Georgette Gilford and she shot to fame on series 13 of X Factor back in 2016. The 41-year-old has overhauled her lifestyle since appearing on the ITV talent show and has dropped six dress sizes.

Honey has kept fans on social media updated on the fitness programme which has helped her achieve the new look. She took to Instagram to proudly reveal she has completed a 20 mile run as part of the Bedford running festival.

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"
