‘One day hopefully I’ll be able to put a bikini hopefully,’ she said. ‘At the moment I still don’t feel like I can wear a bikini because I’m not confident enough. 

‘But I still thinner than I was and I feel more confident in my body and when I’m walking around, getting in the pool, getting out of the pool.’ 

Honey’s weight loss comes four months after she underwent a dramatic makeover on Channel 5 show 100% Hotter.  

The rapper left viewers shocked in a sleek plunging jumpsuit while sporting  immaculate make-up. 

Her brunette locks, meanwhile, were given a boost as she appeared to sport extensions that transformed her bonce into long waves that fell past her shoulders.

Taken aback by how different she looked to her usual self on screen, viewers rushed to Twitter to express their shock, as well as prompt the aspiring performer to maintain her make-under.

Speaking on the show, Honey G had claimed that she was hesitant about changing her image, as it’s something she has honed over the years and is very particular about.

Although, she did add that her friends are keen for her to embrace her more natural side, as she said: ‘Sometimes my friends say I want to see Anna now, not Honey G. 

‘I never leave my house without sunglasses. I wear my sunglasses in the rain, course I do.’ 

She added: ‘I take my image very seriously, so I expect they’ll have a challenge on their hands because I’m not easily impressed.’
