X Factor ‘rapper’ Honey G throws diva fits if you touch her sunglasses or hat
Ex contestant Gifty claims the 35-year-old reacts like a toddler if anyone touches her hip-hop swag
FINALLY the secret behind Honey G's smudge free mirrored sunglasses has been revealed - if you try and touch them she "screams".
According to one time X Factor contestant Gifty Louise, the 35-year-old IT recruitment consultant has a meltdown if you get too close to any of her precious hip-hop swag.
Recalling her time living with the "UK's top rapper", Gifty explained that it's very much like living with the woman you see on the TV - outlandish outfits and all.
She said:: "She is genuine, that is exactly how she is in the house.
"She wears the sunglasses everywhere and the hat too.
"She doesn't like people touching her hat or her sunglasses or her jackets."
After a bit of persuasion from , Gifty revealed what happens if the ex-tennis champ's orders are disobeyed.
Hinting at some toddler-level tantrums, she continued: "People tried and she just... screamed.
"She is just like, 'please don't touch my stuff.'"
Earlier this week, The Sun online revealed a glimpse of Honey's diva tendencies as she dropped salad dressing on the floor and demanded a replacement from a lackey.
After the clumsy incident, our video also revealed that she failed to pick up her rubbish, instead allowing her chauffeur driven car to further splatter mayonnaise over the tarmac.
But it's not all negativity for Honey G from her one-time rival.
Despite claiming she has no ill-will towards the show, Gifty goes on to claim that Honey G is the only thing stopping it from being BORING.
She said: "Honey G, she is an entertainer and she brings something special to the show – in her way.
"Do you know what, if you take her out of the show right now it would be really boring.
"She does bring the entertainment side to it – she is definitely going to the final.
"If she won it would make people think X Factor is a joke."
Gifty added that she went to watch the show on Saturday to cheer on pals 5 After Midnight, and there is no bad blood between her and the rest of the clan.
Staying philosophical about her week four exit, she said: "I am fine about it, everyone has to go at some point so I guess it was just my time.
"I've not heard from Simon for a few weeks but I am still hoping for something to come out to it – I still have the singing dream."
But as fans of X Factor are only too aware now, you don't need to be able to sing to succeed in this competition.
Last week during a special Remembrance Day performance, Honey G managed to irk the nation by miming as her competitors sang - and then upset everyone by appearing to throw "gang signs" as they paid musical tribute to the nation's war heroes.
There's also been calls for her to be axed from the show after she confessed to being a drug addict.
A rep for X Factor has been approached for comment.
