  • TV personality Amy Tapper has showcased a seven-stone weight loss transformation, dropping three dress sizes in a year.
  • Tapper, a Gogglebox star, achieved her weight loss through a combination of working with a personal trainer and using the weight loss jab Mounjaro, which she began in June 2024.
  • She described the drug as having “changed my life” but expressed annoyance at those who label it the “lazy way out”, stating it was her only viable option.
  • Weight loss jabs are used by approximately 1.5 million people in the UK, primarily accessed privately, and requires users to maintain a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
  • The manufacturer, Eli Lilly, recently announced a potential 170 per cent price increase for Mounjaro, which could significantly raise monthly costs for long-term users.
