Amy Tapper has revealed the reasons why she wanted to lose weight.
The Gogglebox star, 21, has lost an impressive three stone after battling her with her weight for 13 years during which she tried fad diets and quick fixes.
She recalled how she used to have to ask for a seatbelt extender every time she flew on a plane.
Amy told the Daily Star : "I've been dealing with issues around my weight since I was eight. Over the years I tried different diets and quick fixes.
"The hardest times were when I was made to feel embarrassed. Whenever I was on a plane I'd have to ask for an extension for my belt.
"I was so embarrassed about it, I'd always book an aisle seat so I didn't have to ask in front of a stranger.
"And then when I went to Disney with my family, me and my dad had to sit in a different row on a ride because we needed bigger seats.
"When things like that happen it's horrible. It makes you feel like you're not normal."
Amy and her family joined Gogglebox in 2013.
She admits that she really struggled with the trolling after she shot to fame.
The Channel 4 star continued: "I was 13 and I started looking up my name and there was negative stuff.
"At one point it was quite bad. Everyone said what they wanted. There was bullying."
And she says losing the weight has changed her life for the better, adding: "People tell me I motivate them with both mental and physical health.
"That makes me feel really good because it makes me realise I'm not just doing this for myself."
