Gogglebox's Amy Tapper slams fan as she's branded a 'cheat' amid 7.5st weight loss

Gogglebox star Amy Tapper got herself into a furious clash with a disgruntled fan who accused her of lying about her 7.5 stone weight loss. The 26-year-old hit back after being branded a liar, with one fan claiming they felt "cheated" after she admitted using 'skinny jab' Mounjaro to lose her weight.

Amy, who previously promoted Muscle Food on her Instagram account, appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Thursday, coming clean about her decision to use the controversial weight loss medication. But one fan took aim at Amy, accusing her of deceiving her loyal followers.

The fan wrote on social media: "I feel cheated by this as all those times when she showed her Muscle Food being delivered and exercising on her Instagram page like she was doing this naturally. There is no problem with her using the injection but don't come on TV and say this when people have been giving her moral support thinking she had done this naturally.”

But Amy, who left the Channel 4 show in 2017, jumped to defend herself, replying: “If you watch the whole interview you’ll hear that I started the injections last June, I haven’t done the diet you are talking about since 2023 so there’s been no lying here.”

Despite Amy's insistence that she has been truthful, the fan didn't let up, accusing Amy of misleading the fans who have been sticking up for her. They retorted: "But you didn't say you were taking the injection.

"I know it is nobodies’ business if you are and I do think well done on losing it. But when you put up those before and after pics the other day someone [commented that you’d been using] injections. There were a couple of us who were like ‘no she has been doing it the natural way’ because that's what we thought but were oblivious that you had been taking it.”

Amy didn't reply to the comment, with many of her other fans jumping in to defend the star. One wrote: "The injections only help her to not overeat. The rest she has to do herself, diet and exercise. Lots of people take the injections alongside slimming world, weight watchers etc. You still have to eat the right foods and put in 100% effort."

During her interview on GMB, Celebs Go Dating star Amy admitted: "That is what I've been advised by my doctor. Because I think a lot of the way that people look at the injection is as a quick fix.

"And it is, it's very quick, but it's not fixing you forever. The minute you come off of it, my body is going to start doing what it was doing before which means, yeah, I will be on it for life. We'll look through it and we'll see as we go along, we don't know what can happen but I'm on the highest dose at the moment."

ITV Daytime star Dr Amir Khanwas listening into the conversation, and he acknowledged that Amy had a 'compelling story' to tell with her health journey but did insist that two years was the maximum time an individual should take the injection for in general.

He added: "That two years gives an ample time to make those changes perhaps, with movement, the sleep, the stress that all contribute to weight. In my opinion, I think that if you don't have more than about three stone to lose, I just don't think you need to be on it because a lot of that will be excess weight."
