This OG Gogglebox star has just announced she’s quitting the show

Orlaith Condon

Gogglebox

Time to say goodbye…

She first appeared on our screens during the first season of Gogglebox back in 2013 but now Amy Tapper is ready to say goodbye to the show.

Yes, the 18-year-old who sat next to her mum Nikki, father Jonathan and brother Josh and watched TV for the past five years on our screens is leaving to pursue other opportunities.

It’s already been revealed that the teen landed a spot on this year’s Celebs Go Dating and now she’s confirmed the news that she’s stepping away from the Channel 4 show in an interview.

“I’m personally not going back on Gogglebox, they can go on but they won’t be with me.

“My family are supportive of everything, their line is if you’re happy, I’m happy.”

And speaking of her upcoming appearance on the dating show, Amy says her family are fine with that too but her dad has set one rule.

“My dad just said no kissing with tongues, I said, ‘I can’t promise you anything but I’ll try my best’.”

Amy is said to already have her eye on someone on the show but it’s not one of the people lined up by the agency.

According to reports, Amy has developed a crush on Love Islander Eyal Booker who is also taking part in this year’s series.
