Gogglebox star Amy Tapper took to Instagram to show off her stunning new figure after losing eight stone in weight following regular exercise and with the help of weight loss medication
Gogglebox star Amy Tapper wowed fans with new snaps showing off her weight loss. The TV personality shed eight stone and revealed her new look on Instagram.
The 26 year old dropped to a size 18 from a size 26 through a combination of weight loss medication and regular exercise. She took to the social media platform on Thursday (11 December) to share how her appearance had changed.
Dressed in a cosy cream jumper, Amy took a selfie and wrote over the top: “Happy thursday my beautiful people.” This comes shortly after she revealed that doctors prescribed her weight loss injection Mounjaro and that she had been thinking about gastric band surgery.

Mounjaro is a prescribed weekly injection designed to help adults with weight loss by lessening your appetite. NHS England recommends that this particular jab be used for adults living with obesity and other weight-related problems such as cardiovascular disease and type two diabetes. Gastric band surgeries are a bypass surgery that limit how much your digestive system can take in, eligible for those with a BMI of over 40.
Though Amy did not have the bypass surgery, she may still go under the knife, as she has said that her weight loss has left her with loose skin.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said: “Unfortunately and inevitably, when you’ve lost as much weight as eight stone, and there’s gonna be more, there’s a lot of skin that is just not gonna disappear with exercise.”
She added that her arms and tummy would require surgery but she felt like the skin on her legs were “really toning up”. Some have accused Amy of ‘cheating’ when it comes to her weight loss, citing the medication.
However, Amy has paired the medication with a consistent workout. She has been seeing the same personal trainer for five years and said she loves going to the gym. She added that she has also be “eating less and moving more” and that, alongside the medication, “it’s working as the most perfect pair”.
But the scrutiny from fans has severely damaged Amy’s mental health. Whilst on Good Morning Britain, the star said: “I do think of myself as strong minded and whatever they say to me I can say a lot worse about myself.
“But of course it affects you. No one is super human and I can be strong and confident, but when I’ve put all this work in, I do just kind of have to laugh about it. The online trolls come in and it sort of affects your peacefulness in your head.”
