Channel 4 Gogglebox star Amy Tapper shares hopes for motherhood following impressive weight loss

Amy Tapper has revealed her hopes of becoming a mother after losing an impressive eight stone as part of a major health transformation.

The former Gogglebox star, 26, told Closer magazine her weight-loss journey has been motivated by concerns about having a safe pregnancy in the future.

“I want to be able to carry a baby one day and not worry about having a dangerous pregnancy,” she explained, adding she hopes her efforts will “future-proof” her health as she gets older.

Ms Tapper said she has struggled with her weight since childhood, beginning diets at the age of 11 before finding fame on Channel 4’s Gogglebox alongside her parents Jonathan and Nikki and brother Josh.

The reality star has now dropped five dress sizes and currently wears a size 18, describing the change as “life-changing”.

In 2024, she began using weight-loss injections following advice from her doctor after years of unsuccessful dieting attempts.

She said previous efforts often stalled after losing a few stone, which she believes was linked to genetics and metabolism.

Alongside the injections, Ms Tapper follows a fitness routine including Pilates, boxing and strength training three times a week.

She is hoping to lose another stone before consulting a surgeon about excess skin removal, although she said her main goal remains becoming a mother one day.

Ms Tapper also admitted the injections have caused side effects, including “sulphur burps” and major appetite changes, but said the results have transformed her life.

Several UK celebrities have opened up about using weight-loss injections, including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, with mixed experiences reported.

Gemma Collins described Mounjaro as “life-changing” after losing two stone, while Jeremy Clarkson revealed he lost three stone using the jab over six months.

Taskmaster host Greg Davies also shed three stone with Ozempic, although he admitted he “did not enjoy” the experience.

Sharon Osbourne stopped taking Ozempic after losing three stone, saying she feared becoming “too thin”.

Boy George said Ozempic and Mounjaro boosted his confidence after years of public scrutiny, while Robbie Williams called the medication a “Christmas miracle” after losing almost two stone.

However, several stars have spoken about negative side effects.

Stephen Fry said Ozempic made him “violently sick”, causing him to vomit several times a day.

James Corden claimed the medication “didn’t really work” for him because his eating habits were not driven by physical hunger.

Former prime minister Boris Johnson admitted he began to “dread” weight-loss jabs after they made him feel unwell.

And model Lottie Moss was hospitalised after taking the medication despite already being slim.
