Gogglebox star Amy Tapper demands bigger plane seats to stop shaming people

She is fed up with people feeling uncomfortable

Gogglebox star Amy Tapper wants to lobby for bigger seats on planes and at theme parks so that no one has to feel uncomfortable.

She has lost three stone recently, so no longer needs seat belt extensions on planes.

But she said she was keen that no one had to suffer the experiences she has had in the past.

Amy made the comments in a chat with Vas J Morgan on his Instagram series I Am Enough.
