Gogglebox star Amy explains how she has lost three stone in six months

Reality TV star Amy Tapper has revealed how she’s lost three stone in six months by increasing her daily food portions. The former Gogglebox star has shared how the Goal Getters meal plan by MuscleFood has allowed her to drop four jean sizes all while increasing her daily meal intake.

Amy opened up about how she recognised from a young age she had a bigger build in comparison to the rest of her peers, and despite never being bullied, she was always aware of her size. After being part of the original Gogglebox cast at just 13 years old, Amy admitted she would often type her name into Twitter as new episodes of the Channel 4 show aired, only to see internet trolls making negative comments about her appearance and weight.

Amy, now 22, said: “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.”
