After first hitting our screens all the way back in 2013, Channel 4’s Gogglebox has been a treasured show for more than a decade now.
Originally narrated by Caroline Aherne, her Royle Family co-star Craig Cash stepped in to take the reins following her death in 2016.
From chaotic interruptions by the Malone family dog to Mary and Giles’ searing one-liners, it’s safe to say the show has been hectic.
Despite seeming like a strange concept at first, viewers are now obsessed with it.
And throughout the years, there have been a number of astonishing transformation from its cast members.
From Amy Tapper to Stephen Webb and Ellie Warner, here are some of the most dramatic changes.

From 2013 until 2018, Amy, alongside her parents Jonathan and Nikki and brother Josh, were couch critics on Gogglebox.
Aged just 13 when her family joined the series, Amy has previously spoken out about being bullied about her weight.
A few years ago, however, she decided to go on a health kick on her own terms.

Taking to social media to share her progress, Amy posted an astonishing progress photo earlier this year.
Discussing her excitement about what she has achieved through exercise and healthy earing, she said: ‘Officially 5 stone down and I couldn’t be happier.’

After spending months injecting himself with testosterone after hormonal imbalances, Stephen showed off his toned body last year.
Stephen spent a decade on the long-running Channel 4 series before leaving in 2023.

He first joined Gogglebox as one of the original stars in 2013 for season one with Christopher Steed, later giving his verdict on TV shows with his mum Pat Webb, before appearing with now ex-husband Daniel Lustig from 2019 until 2023.
A hairdresser by trade, Stephen has also taken on some other projects since leaving the show, including Dancing on Ice (which he was forced to quit due to injury) and Celebs Go Dating.
