Ex-Gogglebox star Jonathan Tapper looked dramatically different as he showed off the results of his incredible weight loss.
The reality star shot to fame on the Channel 4 show alongside his wife Nikki and now-famous children Amy and Josh.
Jonathan’s daughter Amy took to Instagram to show off his jaw-dropping transformation with a series of before-and-after snaps – and he looked happier than ever.
The proud dad, who lives with diabetes, suffered a nightmare health scare when he was hit by Covid in 2020 – which led him to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Jonathan, who lives with diabetes, was left bedridden and struggling to breathe where he was “heaving with every breath”.

His wife Nikki told Daily Star at the time: “One night Jonathan came home from work and was unable to move.
“He had a cough and high temperature. He laid down on the sofa and – with no exaggeration – he stayed there for two weeks in our lounge room.”
Luckily, Jonathan recovered and decided to overhaul his lifestyle in a bid to lose weight.
Amy showcased her dad’s trimmed figure on Instagram, where she said she was “so proud” of her father.

She said: “How it started VS how it’s going today.
“In 2019 dad lost just under three stone with MuscleFood Goal Getters! I’m so so proud of what my dad and I achieved back then in just 12 Weeks, even more so that he has maintained his weight for this health and joined me back on the @mfgoalgettersuk plan.
“Back in 2019 dad was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after the weight crept on and we decided it was time to make a change.

“Now Dad is feeling even more motivated than before and being active as well as healthy snacks on the go from the @musclefooduk Goal Getter plan has made it easy for him.”
The former Gogglebox star has adopted a much healtheir diet plan, which includes porridge for breakfast, a vegetable-filled lunch and a stir-fry for dinner.
He has reduced his calorie intake from over 3,000 a day to around 1,800.
Jonathan has also started exercising four times a week to make sure he keeps himself moving.
