Former Gogglebox star Jonathan Tapper has unveiled his weight loss, after shredding just under three stone since suffering a health scare. His daughter, Amy, who also appeared on the Channel 4 programme, shared a before and after picture of her dad, looking dramatically different and showing his transformation.
The Tappers, which also saw Jonathan's wife Nikki and son Josh star on the reality TV series, were regulars on Gogglebox from 2013 to 2018. Posting on Instagram on June 7, his daughter Amy told her 78k followers how "proud" of her dad, The Daily Star reports.
She explained how and why they had decided it was "time to make a change" saying: "Back in 2019 dad was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after the weight crept on and we decided it was time to make a change. Now Dad is feeling even more motivated than before and being active as well as healthy snacks on the go from the @musclefooduk Goal Getter plan has made it easy for him."
Jonathan also suffered a health scare in 2020 when he caught Covid-19 and was left reportedly bedridden and struggling to breath. His wife Nikki told the Daily Star, at the time: "One night Jonathan came home from work and was unable to move. He had a cough and high temperature. He laid down on the sofa and – with no exaggeration – he stayed there for two weeks in our lounge room. We tended to him as best we could, but at times he seemed unable to breathe.
Thankfully, the-dad-of-two recovered and has since decided to overhaul his lifestyle in a bid to lose weight. Blue band member Antony Costa, was amongst those who commented on the pictures shared by Amy saying: "Love that go on Johnny".
Celebrity Gogglebox starts this Friday, June 10 from 9pm on Channel 4 and All 4.
