Gogglebox favourite Amy Tapper found herself embroiled in a heated row with an irate follower who branded her a liar over her 7.5 stone weight loss transformation. The 26 year old fired back after being called dishonest, with one supporter claiming they felt “cheated” following her revelation about using the ‘skinny jab’ Mounjaro to shed the pounds. Amy, who had previously endorsed Muscle Food through her Instagram profile, appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain on Thursday, confessing to her choice to use the slimming medication.

The supporter posted 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.” Yet Amy, who departed the Channel 4 programme in 2017, leapt to her own defence, responding: “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 assertion that she had been honest, the supporter refused to back down, claiming Amy had misguided the fans who had been supporting her. They hit back: “But you didn’t say you were taking the injection.”, reports the Mirror . “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 remained silent on the remark, whilst numerous supporters rallied to her defence. One penned: “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.” Speaking during her GMB appearance, the Celebs Go Dating personality confessed: “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 medic Dr Amir Khan was part of the discussion, and whilst he recognised Amy’s ‘compelling story’ regarding her wellness transformation, he did emphasise that two years represented the maximum duration someone should typically use the treatment. He further commented: “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.”
