Gogglebox star reveals he’s MARRIED his girlfriend after nine years together – after quitting the show to pursue a career in politics

Gogglebox star Josh Tapper has married his longterm girlfriend Hannah after nine years together.

The reality star, 27, previously appeared alongside his family in the beloved Channel 4 show, but left in 2017 after landing a prestigious job at the Cabinet Office.

News of Josh’s wedding was shared by his sister Amy, who shared a gallery of snaps and videos from the huge family celebration.

Gushing that it was an ‘incredible’ day, Amy wrote: ‘The New Mr and Mrs Tapper! No words to describe this incredible day from start to finish…

‘I’d say welcome to the family @hannahtapper_ but you’ve been apart of it for 9 years now… this just means officially forever. I love you both more than words will ever describe @joshtapper.’

Snaps showed Josh and his new wife posing alongside his parents Jonathan and Nikki, before partaking in the traditional Jewish dance, the horah.

Josh was one of the original families to appear in Gogglebox’s first series back in 2013, but he departed the show four years later after he was offered a Civil Service apprenticeship at the Cabinet Office.

A source told The Mirror at the time: ‘Channel 4 will, of course, keep the door open for him but it’s a really exciting opportunity for him. 

‘It’s a much coveted job. Josh has already started having meetings within No.10.’

Last year, Josh then shared that he was running to be a Labour MP after being selected as the candidate for the Hertsmere consтιтuency.

Sharing the news of his selection on X, formerly Twitter, Mr Tapper told this followers: ‘I’m thrilled and honoured to have been selected as Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Hertsmere.

‘Thank you so much to local members for your support – I won’t let you down. The work to unseat the Deputy Prime Minister starts now!’

Josh went head-to-head with the Conservative candidate Oliver Dowden, who had held the seat since 2019, and he lost out by 7,992 votes. 

In 2022 Josh tried to get elected in Edgwarebury, north west London where he grew up, but he lost by a narrow margin.

Being just 15 when first appearing on Gogglebox, he was forced to juggle being a famous face while also ‘trying to live a normal life’, the Mirror reports.

He said he was ‘the guy who was on TV’ and that his days of filming were long on top of his school commitments.

Josh also previously admitted he was motivated to work on his health and fitness regime after his father was diagnosed with diabetes. 

‘I do a mixture of cardio and weights at the gym, I used to go once a week but now I train most days,’ he said. 

‘Having a family member with diabetes does hit home how important diet is.’
