Gogglebox's amy tapper slams 'vile' trolls amid negative comments

By NIOMI HARRIS FOR MAILONLINE Published: 12:59 EDT, 25 January 2021 | Updated: 15:53 EDT, 25 January 2021 Gogglebox star Amy Tapper has been forced to hit back at cruel internet trolls

after receiving 'vile' comments on her TikTok video. The 21-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday, where she told of her 'shock' at the level of nasty messages she

received, remarking: 'People are vile, they are horrible!' Giving the naysayers a piece of her mind, Amy, who has recently lost over three stone, said 'f**k you' to her

haters, while also thanking her supporters who shared kind words. Filming herself on her phone, the reality star told how she's not a regular user of video sharing app TikTok, but will

occasionally have a browse and upload the odd video.  However, she was left surprise and hurt by the messages she received under her latest post. She said: 'I've just read through

my comments and people are vile. They are horrible. 'I mean, thank God I've got a strong b****y mind because let me tell you, if this was someone else, oh my God they would be

crying their eyes out right now.  'You're all, on TikTok, vile. I'm just putting it out there.' She concluded: 'Thanks everyone else for the love and sticking up for

me, but f**k you all! The Celebs Go Dating star wrote over her video,  'Be f**king kind honestly.'  Earlier this month, Amy showcased her three stone weight loss with before and

after photos on Instagram  after adopting a healthier lifestyle.  The TV star told how her impressive weight loss was inspired from feeling 'embarrassed' when she had to ask for an

extension for her seat belt during a family holiday. Amy told the Daily Star: 'I've been dealing with issues around my weight since I was eight. Over the years I tried different

diets and quick fixes.  'The hardest times were when I was made to feel embarrassed. Whenever I was on a plane I'd have to ask for an extension for my belt.'  She said she was

so self-conscious about the request, she'd book aisle seats so she wouldn't need to ask for the belt in front of a stranger. Amy added: 'When I went to Disney with my family,

me and my dad had to sit in a different row on a ride because we needed bigger seats. When things like that happen it's horrible. It makes you feel like you're not normal.'

Amy was also subjected to horrific online trolling about her weight after her family debuted on the TV commentary show in 2013. Earlier this month, the star revealed that she managed to drop

3.5 stone after ditching 'quick fix' diets and instead changing her 'entire lifestyle'.   The television personality also candidly detailed how she's struggled with

her weight since she was just eight years old in an interview with Metro. Amy said: 'There was nothing specific [issues] because I’ve struggled with my weight since I was about eight

years old. I’ve always tried every diet under the sun.' Discussing why she's managed to drop some pounds now, Amy credited going to the gym as that allowed her to start 

'losing inches as well as weight.'   She continued: 'I think it was just the right time... my mind was exactly where it needed to be. Changing a whole lifestyle rather than

doing a really quick fix on shakes and bars that just didn’t [work].'   InstagramTikTok
