Gogglebox's Jonathan Tapper has just unveiled an incredible transformation, losing a whopping three stone in just 12 weeks. The 51-year-old, who appears on the show with his wife Nikki, daughter Amy and son Josh, was previously 21st 3lbs, and has slimmed down to 18st 8lbs after being diagnosed with diabetes in 2015.

However, the former chauffeur found that he was still struggling to shift the weight, and instead turned to musclefood.com and their Do The Unthinkable diet and exercise plan, dropping six inches off his waist on the way.

The North Londoner reckons he was consuming over 3,000 calories a day, and has now reduced his intake to 1,800 daily in order to keep the weight off, ensuring that he exercises too.

"I love food and love to eat," he admitted, "So keeping the weight off has always been a struggle for me. I’ve lost weight a few times, through cutting out the rubbish in my diet and upping the exercise, but over the years the pounds have slowly crept back on.

"I’ve never been one for short-term quick fix diets – for me it’s always been about making a lifestyle change not just wanting to lose a few pounds for a special occasion."

The weight loss has not only had a huge impact on Jonathan's physical health, but also on his mental wellbeing. "Physically and mentally I feel better than I ever have. There’s no going back to my old ways, snacking on crisps and eating high calorie food.

"I’m going to keep on with the Do The Unthinkable workouts and meals plans and will hopefully see more weight fall off. I’ve really noticed a change in my physical ability since I started and as the weight’s dropped off and my flexibility had improved, it’s much easier to move around."
