GOGGLEBOX star Amy Tapper has revealed she needs surgery to remove her loose skin after a stunning 8st weight loss.
Amy, who overhauled her lifestyle with clean eating and regular exercising before turning to weight loss jab Mounjaro, looks incredible after the transformation – but can’t do anything about the excess skin that comes with it.
She told the Mail: “Unfortunately and inevitably, when you’ve lost as much weight as eight stone, and there’s gonna be more, there’s a lot of skin that is just not gonna disappear with exercise.
“It’s not possible, you know? It’s stones and stones of fat and it’s now just skin.
“My arms and my tummy are definitely gonna need surgery at some point, but my legs are actually OK.”
Amy, 26, has been using her personal trainer for five years and has continued to exercise alongside using jabs. She currently takes a 15mg weekly dose, having increased gradually from a starting dose of 2.5mg a week.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain in September, Amy warned viewers the jabs aren’t a permanent solution to weight issues.
She said: “I think a lot of the way that people look at the injections is that it’s a quick fix, everything like that. And it is. It’s very quick.
“But it’s not fixing you forever. Because the minute you come off of it, my body’s just going to start doing exactly what it was doing before. Which means that, yeah.”
The Channel 4 star then revealed her plans for long term use of fat jabs.
“I will be on it for life. I mean, obviously, we will look through it and we’ll see as we go along,” she said.
“We don’t know what can happen. But the plan is, I’m on the highest dose at the moment.”
Amy exclusively told The Sun that she began taking jabs as a last resort and called the results “life-changing”.
She said: “I’ve gone to doctors all my life and they can never tell me the problem – because there’s actually nothing wrong with me.
“My bloods are always amazing, I haven’t got polycystic ovaries, I haven’t got a thyroid problem and I haven’t got anything that usually makes you put on weight. It is just genetics.”
Continuing, she added: “I felt there was nothing else I could do.”
