The Channel 4 show Gogglebox has been keeping the nation entertained for well over a decade now, but whatever happened to the original cast who paved the way?
Gogglebox launched in 2013 and has since received huge recognition. In 2014 and 2022, it won a BAFTA in the Reality & Constructed Factual category. Gogglebox has also won numerous NTAs.
Here, we’re taking a look at the OG cast and what they’ve been up to since the show…

Gogglebox original cast: The Tapper family
The Tapper family, made up of dad Jonathan, mum Nikki, daughter Amy and son Josh, remained on the show for an impressive 11 series between 2013 and 2018.
Josh was the first to leave the hit show after he landed an Apprenticeship scheme with the UK Government. His sister Amy soon parted ways with Gogglebox, too. She later appeared on E4’s Celebs Go Dating.
Amy and her dad, Jonathan, have remained in the public eye after impressing fans with their weight loss journey. In February, Amy Tapper revealed she had lost five stone.
“Officially 5 stone down and I couldn’t be happier,” she wrote on Instagram. “Never thought I’d be able to reach this milestone so I think I can say I’m proud of myself. Thank you for being by my side throughout it all @tashelite.fitness.”
Jonathan also suffered a health shock after he was left fighting for his life after contracting coronavirus. Fortunately, he pushed through and survived.
