In a chat with the Daily Star about her transformation, she shared: "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."

She added: "That's why not a lot of people recognise me in the street anymore, it says online I'm unrecognisable which is true.

Honey G has opened up about how shedding the pounds has led her to ditch the baggy wardrobe in favour of figure-hugging outfits and lingerie.

She confessed there were moments she felt devoid of any allure, but now she's thrilled to report a complete turnaround after dedicating herself to a body makeover. She's beaming with confidence and self-esteem like never before.

Speaking to Closer magazine, she revealed: "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."
