Gogglebox star shows off huge weight loss results

Former Gogglebox star Amy Tapper has shared the results of her weight loss after working hard for eight months.

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.

Earlier this year, Amy announced that she had dropped four jean sizes all while increasing her daily meal intake.

From a young age, Amy said 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. And on Tuesday, she posted an update to her Instagram followers after working on her fitness with a health coach for eight months.

Amy has previously 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.”

The 22-year-old tried a number of diets before realising she needed to make a lifestyle change. On Tuesday, she revealed she has been training since April.

Sharing a snap of her progress, Amy said: "Just about 8 months later… so far so good and no matter what challenges come my way I’m in this now and nothings stopping me."

Fans were quick to offer praise. Taking to the comments section, Jasmine said: "Congratulations you look amazing great results", while Nichola said: "Absolutely amazing. You should be so proud of yourself".

Santina said: "You are doing so well! Go girl!! Hopefully see your pretty face on tv soon". Karen said: "You're looking great hard work but worth it xxx"
