THEY’RE the nation’s favourite couch potatoes – but these Gogglebox stars are now barely recognisable from when they first hit our screens.
This morning Amy Tapper appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss her staggering 7.5 stone weight loss – after spending a year on Mounjaro injections.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, Amy opened up about using the weight loss drug Mounjaro[/caption]
The 25-year-old has dropped from a size 26 to a size 18, having battled with her weight since early childhood and finding herself trapped in a vicious cycle of losing some weight, only to put it all back on again.
Amy praised the injection for giving her “peace” for once in her life, and admitted she plans to stay on it indefinitely.
As well as using the jab, she revealed she has been maintaining a healthy diet which includes lots of protein and fresh food.
As the jab makes people feel fuller, Amy will often now only have either lunch or dinner, not both.
Amy quit Gogglebox in 2017 along with her brother Josh, mum Nikki and dad Jonathan.
Here we take a look at some of the other casts’ dramatic transformations.
Stephen Webb

He offered us his dry takes on our favourite shows for over a decade before quitting the show in 2023.
And these days hairdresser Stephen Webb, 54, clearly spends much of his time working out, having radically slimmed down and toned up.
Stephen opened up about how his low testosterone levels – that matched those of a 75-year-old man – were leaving him feeling “anxious and lethargic”, prompting him to undergo eight months of testosterone therapy.
He revealed the injections left him feeling like he “was 30 again” and spurred him on to get into the gym – as well as boosting his diminished sex drive.
His sudden weight loss did spark concern among fans, with some urging him not to lose too much.
Since leaving the show Stephen has split from his husband Daniel Lustig after six years of marriage.
Stephen said last year: “It’s with much sadness Daniel and I have decided to divorce. There is, and always will be, a lot of love there but we’ve unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways.”
Earlier this year Stephen – who appeared on Celebs Go Dating – sported a trendy pink buzz cut while on holiday in Benidorm.

Izzi Warner joined Gogglebox with her sister Ellie in 2015.
The fan favourite is a mum to two young children, son Bobby and daughter Bessie Rose, with her ex-partner Grant.
Since giving birth to her second child in February 2020, Izzi has shed an impressive amount of weight, having taken up running, and undergone quite the glow-up.
She’s ditched her red locks to become a blonde bombshell – and recently debuted her new man Toby Joyce.
Ava Moffatt

Ava was just seven years old when she made her telly debut alongside her family on Gogglebox – before the Moffatts quit the long-running series in 2016.
The County Durham clan have since travelled around the world with Scarlett after finding fame.
In 2017, Scarlett and Ava were seen together in Australia when Scarlett hosted I’m A Celeb’s spin-off show, after she won the Jungle Queen title the year before.
Last year Scarlett shared a series of sweet snaps to mark Ava’s 18th birthday – and she’s certainly unrecognisable from the shy little girl who first graced our screens.
In one snap Ava sports a pair of denim hot pants, pink cowboy boots and a sparkly jacket, while in another she flashes her midriff in a chic black waistcoat while posing beside her big sister.
Scarlett Moffatt
Scarlett Moffatt, 34, is arguably the biggest star to come out of Gogglebox, having become a fan favourite overnight when she joined the show in 2014 with her parents Betty and Mark.
After shooting to fame, Scarlett splashed out on a new set of teeth to replace the ones that had been left blackened by a bike accident when she was 11.
Before heading into the I’m A Celebrity jungle in 2018, Scarlett shed two stone after she was told by doctors that she was clinically obese.
She’s yo-yoed between a size 18 and 8 ever since – although these days she’s much happier embracing her curves.
The Northern lass hasn’t been afraid to experiment with her hair over the years either – and in 2014, she dyed her dark locks bright red.
She also had blonde highlights for a while, but has now gone back to her natural colour.
Scarlett is engaged to her policeman partner Scott Dobinson, with whom she shares son Jude.
In June, insiders told The Sun the Gogglebox star is in advanced talks to join the All Stars version of the show, which starts filming in South Africa later this year.
Chris Ashby-Steed

He shot to fame with ex-boyfriend Stephen Webb, but Chris Ashby-Steed has since quit fame – and Brighton – for a new life in the Welsh countryside.
Now happily settled with new husband Tony, the couple have bought a stunning family home in the town of Newcastle Emlyn and have grand plans of renting four guest bedrooms on AirBnB.
Chris is also sporting a new look, having embraced his grey locks and grown it out into a long ponytail.
He has, however, kept his signature facial hair which remains dark.
Eve Woerdenweber and Silent Jay

German-born Ralf Woerdenweber, his English wife Viv and their daughter Evie won a legion of fans on Gogglebox – and were joined on their couch by Evie’s now ex-boyfriend Jay.
Dubbed ‘Silent Jay’ as he rarely spoke, he remained a staple on the show until the couple split, leaving him “gutted”, and he left in 2015.
In 2020 Evie announced she was engaged to her boyfriend Alex after three years of dating.
Now sporting a new colourful hairdo, Evie took to Instagram in 2023 to celebrate starting a PhD in psychology research.
Meanwhile Jay also looks unrecognisable, having relocated to Rotterdam and swapped his long bushy hair for a shorter cut, along with some more substantial stubble.
Jonathan Tapper

It’s not just Amy who’s lost weight in the Tapper household – in 2019 she went on a health kick with dad Jonathan, who also lost three stone.
He slimmed down from 21st 3lb to 18st 8lb and saw his waist shrink from 44in to 38in with the help of Musclefood’s Do The Unthinkable diet, which features high intensity workouts and low-calorie pre-prepared meals.
Jonathan made the change after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
He said: “I love to eat so keeping the weight off has always been a struggle.
“I’ve lost weight a few times, through cutting out the rubbish in my diet and upping the exercise, but over the years the pounds have slowly crept back on.”
