Former Gogglebox star Jonathan Tapper has unveiled a series of 'before and after' pictures showing his incredible three-stone weight loss.
Jonathan, who appeared on the Channel 4 show alongside his now famous daughter, Amy Tapper, decided to completely overhaul his lifestyle after he was struck with Covid back in 2020.
The 53-year-old, who has diabetes, was left struggling to breathe and 'heaving with every breath' while bedridden with terrifying symptoms.

Speaking to the Daily Star at the time, his wife Nikki said: “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."
After he made a miraculous recovery from Covid, the former Gogglebox star decided it was time to change, reports The Mirror.
And following his impressive weight loss transformation, Jonathan's proud daughter Amy took to Instagram to praise her dad for his incredible efforts in overhauling his lifestyle and diet which ultimately led him to shedding three stones.
Alongside the before and after snaps, Amy penned: "How it started VS how it’s going today.
"In 2019 dad lost just under three stone with MuscleFood Goal Getters! I’m so so proud of what my dad and I achieved back then in just 12 Weeks, even more so that he has maintained his weight for this health and joined me back on the @mfgoalgettersuk plan.
"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."
The former Gogglebox star, who was often seen scoffing takeaways with wife Nikki and kids Josh and Amy on the show, now sticks to a much healthier diet plan.
Nowadays, Jonathan opts for porridge for breakfast, a veggie lunch and healthy stir-fry for dinner. As well as that, his calorie intake has dropped from more than 3,000 a day to around 1,800 and he now exercises four times a week.
