Speaking about her weight loss, Honey G told the Daily Star, "The weight loss has definitely given me the confidence to put myself out there.

"I've always had a bit of a complex about my weight and now I can shop in the likes of Topshop and Miss Selfridge.

"I used to be Size 16 to 18 but I recently bought a pair of size 12 trousers which feels so good."

And her new look has helped her regain confidence for dating again.

She explained, "The weight loss is making me feel better about myself and it's nice to wear something more revealing and sexy and know I can strut my thing."

Many will be familiar to Honey G doing her thing in the auditions, where she performed a mix of her own song before bursting into Missy Elliot's Let Me Work It.

And she confessed to lockdown dating. "I have been dating during lockdown but I've not quite found what I'm looking for at the moment," she said.

"I am of course looking for a woman who is attractive but also someone that I can have intelligent conversation with and share my sporting interests with too."
