Channel 4 Gogglebox star Amy Tapper shows amazing 3 stone weight loss

A former Gogglebox star has shared a picture showing her three stone weight loss. Amy Tapper, 22, said she had "kick-started her year" by losing 33cm from her waist in just five weeks.

Alongside the weight loss pictures, she wrote: "Guys I’ve just finished 5 weeks on the Super Slimmer Plan with @mfgoalgettersuk and I couldn’t feel better if I tried! I couldn’t think of a better way to kick start my year than the help of @musclefooduk.

"Physically I am ready to take on the rest of the year with more ease and mentally I just want to keep going and going and never felt so motivated! As you all know I did @mfgoalgettersuk a while back and getting back on it has been amazing and a great start to 2022!"

In August, Amy admitted to being "nervous" about posting a swimsuit photo following her impressive 3.5 stone weight loss. The Gogglebox star posted the swimming costume snap, and penned in the caption: "Quite nervous to share this image but having the best time away with my squad and feeling good."

It comes as Gogglebox star Jonathan Tapper has said he credits his weight loss with helping him survive coronavirus. The reality TV star and the rest of his family all suffered from symptoms of Covid-19 in 2020.

He told Lorraine Kelly on ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “It wasn’t too great. The symptoms of high fever and feeling very weak, mainly, and coughing. I literally couldn’t move at one point, couldn’t walk up the stairs and if I did manage to get half way up, I was really struggling for breath.”

Asked if he thinks his lifestyle change before the virus aided in his recovery, he said: “In every way, losing weight is a good thing. I definitely think because I did, it helped me get through this horrible virus.”

His daughter Amy said at one point her father was so ill she checked he was still breathing every hour, and wife Nikki added: “We all lost our taste and our smell apart from Jonathan. The frightening thing was, Jonathan seemed stable at the beginning – he didn’t move literally for two weeks off the couch.

“I had to be OK because I had to make sure he was OK because he was so poorly. But the frightening thing was, on about day nine, that’s when we plummeted. I messaged Amy and Josh to say I couldn’t get out of bed and to make sure Jonathan had hot drinks and was OK as we’d put Jonathan in the TV room to isolate.

“Then Amy came running up the stairs and said: ‘I’m really worried. Dad’s in a terrible way.’ That’s when I really started to panic.”
