Gogglebox star Amy Tapper has revealed her hopes of starting a family after shedding eight stone. The 26-year-old, who first appeared on the Channel 4 show at age 13, says she has struggled with her weight since childhood but is now focused on her health.
Amy, who dropped from a size 26 to a size 18, told Closer magazine: 'I’m four years away from 30 now and things only get harder as you get older. I want to be able to carry a baby one day and not worry about having a dangerous pregnancy.' She added that losing weight will 'future-proof' herself.
After trying numerous diets, Amy began weight-loss injections in 2024 on her doctor's recommendation. She lost 4lb in the first week and now exercises three times a week, including Pilates and strength training. She aims to lose another stone before consulting a surgeon about possible excess skin removal.
Amy acknowledges the downsides of the injections, including 'sulphur burps', and says she now eats smaller portions and snacks on boiled eggs or yoghurt. She believes she will need to remain on the medication for life due to genetics.
The reality star, who also appeared on Celebs Go Dating and Celebrity Coach Trip, says the weight loss has been 'life-changing'. She can now shop in high street stores, wore jeans for the first time since age nine, and looks forward to visiting Disneyland without worrying about fitting on rides.
