X Factor star Honey G showcased her incredible weight loss transformation while plugging her new single on Instagram on Thursday.
The rapper, 44, who found fame on the hit ITV competition on 2016, looked almost unrecognisable as she displayed her slimmed down physique in a tight grey vest and skimpy printed shorts.
Honey G, who’s real name is Anna Gilford, showed off her long toned legs while dancing wildly to her track Nothing To Me alongside TV presenter Hayley Palmer.
The singer wore her signature sunglasses but forwent a snapback cap, with her long brunette tresses loose as she showed off her wild moves.
She captioned the post: ‘Our take on the ‘Nothing to Me’ dance. Mine & @hayleypalmer_presenter ‘s rendition – my new single- dropping this Saturday!’.
Honey G has openly struggled with her weight and in 2020 completed a triathlon, which consisted of a 750m swim, 20km cycle and a 5km run.

She previously showed off her impressive two stone weight loss and admitted she looked ‘completely different’ after her intense gym workouts and said she gained a lot of ‘body confidence’.
She first lost the weight during lockdown in 2021 and since decided to run four triathlons and do a 20-mile run.
After ‘hitting the gym’ Honey G explained how she’s ‘changed her body shape’ and joked she no longer gets ‘chased through shopping centres by school kids’ in a new interview.
She told The Daily Star – ‘I had a personal trainer for a year and a half, almost two years and we worked a lot on strength training and I started to see, coupled with all the running I was doing, I started to see my body change.
‘That’s why not a lot of people recognise me in the street anymore, it says online I’m unrecognisable which is true.
‘But yeah I’m not saying I miss being chased through a shopping centre by school kids but seriously, in all honesty, when I started to see body shape change, it spurred me on even more.’
In May Honey G once again looked unrecognisable as she showed off her toned down new style at the Trans+ history community event at Clifford Chance in London.
She debuted a much more low-key look, wearing an elegant black lace blouse, which she teamed with jeans and subtle make-up.

However, posing for photos on the red carpet, she did make sure to pull her classic pose, as she threw her hands into the air.
Honey transformed her figure after dropping from a size 18 to a size 12 during the coronavirus pandemic.
She had revealed in an interview at the time that she can now wear clothes she ‘wouldn’t have dreamt of wearing’ previously, and even now enjoys wearing sexy lingerie.
Speaking to Closer magazine, Honey told how ditching her trademark baseball caps and bomber jackets for sleek ensembles following her weight loss has given her a boost in confidence as she’s inundated with compliments.
She explained: ‘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. Now I wear outfits I wouldn’t have dreamt of wearing, and I can fit into nice underwear from Victoria’s Secret.

She admitted that she went through times of feeling that she had no ‘sex appeal’ but delightedly said that things have now changed for her after she had worked ‘so hard’ to transform her figure, adding it has been several years since she ‘felt this good’ about herself.
In 2020 Honey showed off her new look after completing a charity triathlon, and admitted she’d done more exercise in lockdown than she had ‘in her whole life.’
Honey also took part in a triathlon in September 2021, sharing an Instagram photo of her athletic figure at the finish line at Box End Park.
