Amy Tapper to Get Skin Surgery for Bikini!

Gogglebox star has revealed plans to undergo skin surgery in order to be able to wear a bikini for the first time since she was a child.

The TV personality, 26, has shed an incredible eight stone and has dropped five dress sizes through a combination of the jab Mounjaro and regular exercise.

And after dropping from a size 26 to 18 having been 'overweight for as long as I remember', Amy has told how she's now looking forward to showing off her slimmed-down frame in a two-piece once she gets her excess skin removed.   

Speaking in a new interview with Closer magazine, Amy revealed that she'll drop a further stone before talking to a specialists about going under the knife, predicting she probably need 'two surgeries' to remove the skin from her arms and stomach following Her weight loss - claiming that 'no exercise' will get rid of it. 

Amy explained: 'It's massive surgery and it will be a long recovery. But I think it will be emotional and overwhelming for me.

'It'll be the first time I'm able to wear a bikini since I was nine years old!' 

Having transformed her physique over the past two years, Amy is now relishing the choice of clothing she'll have while shopping, with the beauty admitting she used to 'hate' shopping with pals as she was restricted to the plus size section. 

Meanwhile, though bikinis and fashion choices are a huge plus with Amy's epic weight loss, her biggest motivation is preparing her body for a future baby.  

She shared: 'I'm four years away from 30 now and things only get harder as you get older. I want to be able to carry a baby one day and not worry about having a dangerous pregnancy. It will help future-proof myself. I know that as I get older, I'm going to thank myself for this.'

The TV star also admitted that she'll probably be on weight loss injections 'for life' due to her genetics. 

In recent weeks, Amy has continued to wow fans with her new look after shedding the pounds. 

While Amy - who shot to fame when she was just 13 - has been accused by trolls of 'cheating' with her weight loss because she uses the jab, she insists she has maintained a consistent workout routine.

It has also helped her try and tone some of the loose skin on her body.

Amy told Daily Mail: 'I've been with the same personal trainer for five years. I love going to the gym anyway, just mentally, it makes the biggest difference to my week, and hand-in-hand with Mounjaro.'

Amy has been taking a 15mg weekly dose since February, which she worked her way up to from 2.5mg.

At the peak of her weight loss Amy shed 5lbs within just one week of taking the drug and six months later, she had lost 4st.

Amy has partnered with online pharmacy Chemist4U to reclaim the phrase 'eat less, move more' after new research revealed 7 in 10 people on weight loss medication feel judged for using the treatments.

DJ Fat Tony has recorded a new house track for the campaign - fittingly called Already Doing It' and appears with Amy in the music video.

Amy has been sharing her weight loss progress online with fans who branded her an 'inspiration' - though she has faced trolling as a result.

Sadly, the scrutiny has caused considerable damage to Amy's mental health.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain in March, she emotionally said: 'I do think of myself as strong minded and whatever they say to me I can say a lot worse about myself.

'But of course it affects you. No one is super human and I can be strong and confident, but when I've put all this work in, I do just kind of have to laugh about it.'

'The online trolls come in and it sort of affects your peacefulness in your head. This eat less move more, it's put there as some sort of an insult,' she added.

'But if you're doing that with the weight loss medication side by side, it's the most perfect pair so I don't know why it's bothering anyone.'

She urged others not to place too much power in the opinion of others.

'I think you're doomed if you do and doomed if you don't so why not just do it?' she concluded.
