Dermot O’Leary reunited with his former co-star – but can you figure out who she is?
DERMOT O’Leary reunited with X Factor legend Honey G on a recent work project – but she looked nothing like she did in her heyday.
The rapper, 41, ditched her trademark baseball cap, mirrored sunglasses and baggy clothes before snapping a selfie with TV presenter Dermot.
Instead, Honey G – who found fame in the 2016 series of The X Factor – opted for a much more subtle getup.
The former recruitment agent posed for a picture with Dermot with her glossy hair framing her face.
Honey G’s hair is slightly longer than the bob she sported on The X Factor and she ditched her head gear.
Perhaps in a nod to her former alter ego, the TV personality, real name Anna Georgette Gilford, wore an adidas tracksuit top.
Honey G captioned the shot: “You made my day @dermotoleary”
She also teased they were working on a “secret work project” together.
Despite being branded a “novelty act” by critics, Honey G made it to the quarter final of the 13th series of The X Factor.
Having originally auditioned with Missy Elliott’s hit Work It, she competed as part of Sharon Osbourne‘s Over 25s category and finished in fifth place.
These days, Honey G still enjoys her music but has also thrown herself in a life of fitness. She has completed four triathlons and recently ran a 20 mile run.
The star has also dramatically slimmed down since her days on The X Factor and previously revealed she lost nearly two stone in lockdown.
Earlier this month, Honey G was snapped on the Rise Of The Footsoldier red carpet and spoke about her plan to run this year’s London Marathon.
She said: “I have a strict routine and you have to be really disciplined.
“Especially with the marathon training. I’m following a strict training plan, and you have to do a long run so I’m running two or three times a week.
“I did a 20 mile race in October and I was absolutely cream-crackered after that and literally couldn’t even walk. But now everything is looking good and my training is going very well.”
Honey G has no time in mind to complete the marathon in, saying she’s more excited to run it on behalf of a mental health charity which “means a lot to her”
