Gogglebox star Amy Tapper shows off impressive weight loss ahead of 'bigger changes' next year

Former Gogglebox star Amy Tapper has wowed fans of the Channel 4 programme with her incredible body transformation throughout 2022 as she hinted at "bigger changes" to come in the New Year.

The 22-year-old looked happier than ever in a compilation video she posted on Instagram which showed a picture of her each month of the year, showcasing her impressive weight loss journey over the last 12 months.

In the first picture back in january, Amy is seen with a fuller figure sporting a blue princess dress. Yet by December, the reality television star, dressed in black, looks svelte and glamorous with a big grin on her face.

She captioned the video with a message that hinted at exciting things to come in 2023. She wrote: "Big changes this year and even bigger changes coming next year..."

Having lost a jaw-dropping three and a half stone, Amy's comments were soon flooded with messages of support, with many praising her new look and hard work over the last year.

Instagram user @lorraine.e.4315 wrote: "You've worked so hard, you must feel AMAZING !!!! Here's to a fitter 2023 !!! keep it up !!!", as well as @helbag1973 who added: "U look fantastic."

@juliakeiz also said: "Killed it so proud of you!!" while a fourth, @itsmarlane, commented on her glowing smile in each photo: "It's all in your face, brilliant."

Amy first burst onto our screens on the Channel 4 favourite in 2013 and remained on the show until 2018 with her parents and her brother Josh.

Appearing on the show when she was just 13, Amy told the Daily Mail earlier this year that it was after she came under scrutiny from trolls who commented on not just her - and her father's - weight but her voice too on the show that she made a change to her lifestyle.

She told the publication: "My dad and I would both get nasty comments about our weight and I'd also get people criticising my voice for being too loud. It was quite upsetting. There were people on Twitter calling us 'the fat family from Gogglebox' but my mum and my brother have never had any problems with their weight."

Her amazing weight loss has come after she embarked on a programme by MuscleFood Goal Getters which helps her plan her meals, training with a personal trainer and cooking more homecooked meals - among other things. She has since become somewhat of an ambassador for weight loss.

Of changing her lifestyle, she said: "I used to find healthy eating hard due to having a social life and constantly being out with my friends and I then realised that mindset was what was holding me back. I used to think to myself 'when is the right time?' then I realised that I had to make it the right time."

In late October, after six months of being on this plan, she took to Instagram to showcase to her fans just how far she'd come.

"I’m so proud of how far I’ve come but I’ve still got a way to go… just over 3 stone down AND -18cm around my waist, at the best mental and physical health I’ve ever been and I genuinely could not be happier!

"Goal Getters fits into my life perfectly and was the lifestyle change I needed, it has been the most convenient and simple way of changing my life! I’ve always dabbled in diets but for the first time I’ve had the right plan, with the right help, and support around me, and I’ve been able to take it to the next level!

"My goal for the next 6 months with @mfgoalgettersuk is to take every day as it comes and keep going how I am right now and see how far we can go! I’m so excited to keep going and also want to thank my amazing followers for being there along the journey cheering me on and joining in."

Her father also lost almost three stone after going on the same plan following a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in 2019.
