Amy Tapper quickly became a favourite among Gogglebox fans following her appearance on the show, so her followers were understandably worried when she went quiet on social media this week.
The 23-year-old took to Instagram to explain her silence, sharing that she's been bedridden: "Sorry for the radio silence guys. Currently in bed, can't lift my head off the pillow with a severe migraine and vertigo."
Being brave, Amy added: "I’m on pills and will be back soon." Vertigo makes you feel as if you or everything around you is spinning, enough to affect your balance, according to the NHS.

Vertigo is often a side effect of migraine so it could be the two conditions are related for Amy.
Amy has been on a health journey in recent years, losing weight by following the Goal Getters eating plan, which sees meal kits delivered to your door each week, with easy-to-follow recipes to make healthy meals.
In October of last year, Amy shared a before and after photo from her healthy eating journey, writing: "I'm so proud of how far I've come but I've still got a way to go… just over three stone down AND -18cm around my waist, at the best mental and physical health I’ve ever been and I genuinely could not be happier!"

"I've always dabbled in diets but for the first time I've had the right plan, with the right help, and support around me, and I've been able to take it to the next level!"
