Fat jabs helped me lose 7st – I'd tried every diet under the sun and it's not lazy way out, says Gogglebox's Amy Tapper
AFTER years of fad diets and sweat-soaked gym sessions, ex-Gogglebox favourite Amy Tapper has undergone a major body transformation. But the secret behind her dramatic 7st weight loss isn't what you might think – and Amy herself warns that it's not for everyone. 6 Ex-Gogglebox star Amy Tapper has dropped from a size 26 to a size 18 in just 12 months after her incredible weight loss Credit: Lorna Roach 6 Amy, pictured before her weight loss, says she had tried every diet known to man Credit: Do The Unthinkable The 25-year-old TV star, who won the nation's hearts alongside her family on the Channel 4 sofa hit, has dropped from a size 26 to a size 18 in just 12 months. And after keeping schtum about exactly how she's shed the pounds, she today reveals it is all thanks to the weight loss drug Mounjaro. In an exclusive photoshoot with Fabulous, Amy shows off her incredible new look and opens up for the first time about her journey, telling us: 'I've gone to doctors all my life and they can never tell me the problem – because there's actually nothing wrong with me. 'My bloods are always amazing, I haven't got polycystic ovaries, I haven't got a thyroid problem and I haven't got anything that usually makes you put on weight. It is just genetics.' Dad Jonathan, 58, has slimmed down from his 21st 3lb weight to 18st 8lbs since he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2019. She spoke to her doctor whether her weight was inherited from her dad - but was told it could be from distant relative but it's impossible to know. For single Amy, who starred on E4 matchmaking show Celebs Go Dating in 2018, trying to slim down has been a lifelong battle. 'I have done every single diet under the sun,' says Amy, who, like 56 per cent of UK adults, has followed fad diets in a desperate bid to lose weight, including one which only let her eat chicken and sweet potatoes. Gogglebox's Amy Tapper shows off incredible 5st weight loss in amazing before and after pics 'The same thing happens over and over again. I get three stone lighter and I don't lose any more.' For years Amy, from Edgware, north London, was trapped in a vicious cycle of losing some weight, only to put it all back on again. 'Trying to lose weight became my full-time job,' says Amy, who managed to shed just over 3st back in 2021 by healthy eating and regular boxing. 'I found that pressurising as well, because I knew the way my body worked. 'Once I got over that 3st mark, it would take me a month to lose another pound. 'I would be really good all week, I would work out, and I would lose nothing. So then it was just like: 'What's the point?'' Although she has always eaten healthily, Amy says she struggled with her portion sizes. She said: 'I don't think I've ever even tried a full-fat coke in my life. 'It was more the portions of it. I'd be able to have a three-course meal. I'd be able to eat things on a bigger scale.' Amy says that last year she finally reached breaking point. 'I felt there was nothing else I could do,' she admits. 6 Amy with dad Jonathan, mum Nikki and brother Josh Credit: Damien McFadden 'I actually went to a doctor about surgery, because it got past the point of caring about how I look." Although her doctors told her she was physically healthy, Amy struggled with the secondary effects of being overweight. She said: 'I'd get really sweaty and really out of breath quickly.' 'If my friend lived on the top floor somewhere I'd dread to go there because I'd know by the time I'd get to the top I'd be out of breath.' In June last year, her doctor introduced her to weight loss drug Mounjaro. 500,000 people in the UK are currently taking either Mounjaro or Wegovy, according to Simple Online Pharmacy, with a staggering 1.5 million Brits currently using some kind of weight loss drug. I actually went to a doctor about surgery, because it got past the point of caring about how I look. That's up 24.6 per cent since October 2024, according to market intelligence company IQVIA. Typically, patients can expect to lose 15 to 20 per cent of their total body weight in a matter of months. It proved to be a huge turning point for 5ft 3 Amy, who has lost a third of her body weight since 2021. 'I've been on these injections for a year now and I've lost 7st,' she says. 'I'm not sure what my BMI was exactly but I was definitely considered morbidly obese.' She has been taking a 15mg weekly dose since February which she worked her way up to from 2.5mg. 'I'm fitting into size 18 clothes for the first time since I was 15 or 16 – it's hard for me to believe. 'It's changed my life. I went to the theatre the other night and when I sat down, my thighs weren't touching the person next to me, or the sides of the chairs. I had room. 'I was like: 'Oh my God, Mum, this is what it feels like to just fit.'' That feeling of not fitting has dogged Amy ever since she was a child. 'Even growing up as a kid and going to Disney at a young age, I wasn't able to go on certain rides,' she says. 'You don't choose that life at that age.' But while weight loss medication has been life-changing for Amy, she believes that it shouldn't be dished out to those who see it as a quick fix. 'It frustrates me on a daily basis knowing that certain people are on it,' she says. 'It's too available for your normal person. If you've only got 3st or less to lose, you should not be on it. 'And unfortunately, it ruins it for people like me who it's absolutely life-changing for. 6 I've been on these injections for a year now and I've lost 7st, reveals Amy Credit: Lorna Roach 'I also get annoyed that some people call it the 'lazy way out'. 'I don't want people to think that I've sat around for the last 17 years of my life not trying to lose weight. 'I want people to know that this has been my only option to get this far.' Amy strongly believes that Mounjaro is a drug designed for those who, like her, have bodies that don't respond to traditional dieting or exercise. And despite the benefits, she even fears for those who use it when they don't need to. 'It goes for your muscles,' she says. NO QUICK FIX 'That's why there's the whole 'Ozempic face' and 'Ozempic arms' and all of that stuff. 'It's also really damaging for people with eating disorders.' She has worked with personal trainer Tash since the end of 2021 doing regular workouts to help her tone up and maintain muscle mass. She said: 'Exercising alongside Mounjaro is so important - it's very hard to work out if you are at that point of needing Mounjaro.' Amy says she has only experienced side effects when going up a dose - and minimises them by drinking plenty of water and taking electrolytes. For Amy, this is no quick fix and she believes she will need to take weight loss medication 'for life'. Now, she makes sure she follows doctor's orders by listening to what her body needs and makes sure her small meals are nutritionally dense. She said: 'If I'm not hungry I'm not going to force myself to eat. 'I do have to make sure I get protein in and that is my number one priority so I eat a lot of chicken and tuna.' I'm fitting into size 18 clothes for the first time since I was 15 or 16 – it's hard for me to believe. Although she was open about taking the medication with friends and family, she said she didn't want to open up until she felt she was educated enough to answer her followers' questions. She is keen for fans to understand the commitment of taking Mounjaro. She says: 'What people don't realise is that it does so much more than just suppress your appetite. 'It also curbs cravings and slows down your digestive system to keep you fuller for longer. 'There's no such thing as an easy way out. Even surgery is not an easy way out. 'Coming off the injections will mean my body goes back to its old ways. 'I don't want people to think that they can just go on it, lose a couple of stone, come off of it, and be chilling. 'The minute they come off, their bodies will go back to doing exactly what they did before and they're going to store fat.' 6 I get annoyed that some people call weight loss injections the 'lazy way out', says Amy Credit: Lorna Roach 6 The star now laughs at the trolls who once attacked her over her size Credit: Lorna Roach Amy's family – brother Josh, 27, who works for a think-tank, nursery manager mum Nikki, 52, and dad Jonathan, 58, a chauffeur – are thrilled at her weight loss success. 'They're so proud and so happy about it,' she says. 'They were always supportive of me their whole lives - and now they are happy to see me so happy.' The star, who has been sharing her weight loss journey with her 76,000 Instagram followers, now laughs at the trolls who once attacked her over her size. BODY BATTLE 'I used to scroll through my phone looking at negative comments calling me 'the fat girl in the corner', but now I see them arguing in the comments section about if I am on Mounjaro or not. It makes me laugh.' Despite dropping an incredible 7st, Amy's body battle is far from over. Having lost weight at such speed, she eventually hopes to have skin removal surgery once she has reached a stable weight in the next couple years. 'It's a long way down the line, but I've lost the weight sooner than I would have ever imagined in my life,' she says. 'I'm definitely having a party after I have reached my goal weight and had my loose skin removed. 'You need to celebrate these things. Otherwise, what's the point?'

I was there when Liam & Noel got career-defining call – I wish I'd kept thank you gifts from opening for Oasis in '94
Oasis fans paid just £6.75 to see the Manchester lads play their initial Irish gig at the Tivoli Theatre IRISH SUPPORT ACT I was there when Liam & Noel got career-defining call – I wish I'd kept thank you gifts from opening for Oasis in '94 AN Irish drummer who supported Oasis on their first tour of Ireland has recalled the moment Liam and Noel Gallagher got the call to say they had gone to No.1 in the UK charts. The year was 1994 when punters paid just £6.75 to see the Manchester lads play their initial Irish gig at the Tivoli Theatre in Dublin. Advertisement 5 Drummer Peter Kelly supported Oasis in Dublin in 1994 Credit: COLLECT 5 The drummer shared memories of Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher in Dublin Credit: Koh Hasebe/It was just weeks after the release of their debut album Definitely Maybe. And supporting them that night were indie band Catchers, from Portstewart, Co Derry. Speaking for the first time about opening for Oasis at that Irish gig, drummer Peter Kelly told The Irish Sun: 'I remember Noel played guitar to these two vintage orange amplifiers and the sound was incredible in this small club. 'It was probably the last time anyone would see Oasis in a club that size. Advertisement 'It was all stadiums and arenas from that point on. No one had any idea how big Oasis would become.' Now 52, Peter has been living in Australia for the past 22 years, where he works as a business administrator. Peter said the memories of supporting Liam and Noel returned when his boss told him he had just paid hundreds of dollars for tickets to see Oasis on their reunion tour in Melbourne. Peter told us: 'I said 'I'll tell you a story about Oasis' — and my boss couldn't believe how much cheaper the tickets for Oasis were back then.' Advertisement Signed to Setanta Records, Catchers had landed singles of the week in the NME and Melody Maker, when they were asked to open for Oasis on their Irish tour. They played the Tivoli Theatre in the Liberties, on September 3 and the Limelight Belfast the following night. Ex-Celtic star goes wild as he does the huddle at Oasis gig with 70,000 fans Peter told us: 'I'll always remember, at the Belfast show, Oasis got the call to say that Definitely Maybe had gone to Number One in the UK charts. 'They went mental. I was there when Liam and Noel got that news and saw how happy they were. There was no turning back after that call. Advertisement 'It's incredible to think I was there in the room when a crew member came in and gave them that news.' The Gallaghers had reason to be grateful to Peter. The previous night in Dublin, Oasis drummer Tony Gallagher broke his snare drum bashing out early hits, Supersonic, Shakermaker and Live Forever and had to get a replacement from the Catchers. Peter told us: 'Oasis asked could they borrow my snare drum and I said 'no problem'. Advertisement "Oasis gave me some drum skins as a thank you gift, I wished I'd kept them now.' Hanging out with Oasis, Peter recalls Liam Gallagher was wound up with swagger and attitude. He said: 'I didn't approach Liam because Liam was unapproachable. But Noel was the total opposite. 'I remember sitting on the stairs with him backstage in the Tivoli chatting about The Frank and Walters - who were friends of ours - who he had toured with when he roadied for The Inspiral Carpets. Noel was great.' Advertisement HIGH ALERT For the gig in Belfast, Peter recalls how the two bands nearly didn't make it over the border as their convoy was stopped by the RUC. The year was 1994 — four years before the Good Friday Agreement — and the North was still on high alert. Peter said: 'The RUC stopped our van, made some calls and told us the registration on our van belonged to a Honda 50, not the van we were in. 'It was a scary moment because you couldn't be driving up North with dodgy registration plates. Advertisement 'But Oasis had gone through the checkpoint first so when the RUC man asked if we were with Oasis, and we said we were the support band, he waved us through and we were on the road to Belfast.' Peter recalls the audience at the front of both Irish shows heaving as they witnessed Oasis on fire belting out their hits. He said: 'The effect Oasis had on the audience was just incredible. "Hearing all those songs from Definitely Maybe in a packed little venue with Liam and Noel at full throttle… incredible.' Advertisement As the opening act, Catchers couldn't have been more different from the Manchester headliners. Singers Dale Grundle and Alice Lemon created beautiful harmonies together on pristine pop songs like Cotton Dress. Peter said: 'No, it wasn't the sort of crowd we'd usually play for but we lived to tell the tale.' SUPERSTAR MATES The administrator recalled how Oasis were joined by superstar mates on the dates. Advertisement Peter said: 'I remember talking to this guy about music backstage in Dublin for ages. He had a shaved head. 'It was only then he introduced himself as Evan Dando of The Lemonheads, who were a pretty huge band back then.' It's mad to think back to those days. I was 21 at the time and having a ball." Catchers would later go on to tour with Pulp and Edwyn Collins after recording their debut album Mute with Cure producer Mike Hedges. The record won them a devoted following in France, before they signed with US label Warners Discovery and moved to the US. Advertisement The group split after second album Stooping To Fit in 1998. Peter ended up working in a London pub where he met his future Australian wife. They travelled to Oz in 2003 and he has remained there ever since. Peter said: 'It's mad to think back to those days. I was 21 at the time and having a ball. Advertisement Looking at the tickets now — £6.75 to see Oasis at the Tivoli. You'd pay a lot more now. A lot!'

The show was filmed in September last year. Advertisement Celebrities always dread the interrogation segment and many crumble. Harry added: 'The place where I was mentally and physically, I would've definitely been broken down easy. I was easy pickings.
