Gogglebox star Amy Tapper, 23, has taken to Instagram to share a worrying update about her health.
The Channel 4 reality star issued a statement to her 79k Instagram followers in which she apologised for being inactive on the social media platform after dealing with her health woes.
"Sorry for the radio silence guys," the television personality began.
Her statement continued: "Currently in bed, can’t lift my head off the pillow with a severe migraine and vertigo."
In an attempt to reassure fans she was on the mend, Tapper promised: "I’m on pills and will be back soon.”
Despite leaving Gogglebox with the rest of her family in 2018, Tapper has still built up quite the fanbase who'd understandably be concerned by her latest update.

Tapper first appeared on the show alongside her dad Jonathan, 55, mum Nikki, 50, and her brother, Josh, 25.
Since the family quit the Channel 4 show for good, Tapper has gone on to appear in Celebs Go Dating while also sharing with her followers her weight loss journey.
In the years since leaving Gogglebox, Tapper has ditched over three stone, as she updated fans in October: "I'm so proud of how far I've come but I've still got a way to go…
"Just over 3 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!"
Despite returning to screens in the search for love on E4's Celebs Go Dating, Gogglebox fans shouldn't expect the Tapper family to return to the show anytime soon.
A source told the Daily Star in 2021 that the family had "moved on" and were moving on to pastures new.
Gogglebox also suffered another blow when one of its original cast members announced this month they'd be leaving after 10 years on the programme.
Stephen Webb and Daniel Lustig-Webb released a statement announcing their decision to leave the show with the former having appeared on the sofa from the very beginning.

Webb penned on his Instagram page: "After careful consideration, Daniel and I have decided we will not be returning for the new series of Gogglebox.
"We feel the time is right to move on and explore other opportunities.
"We would like to thank Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for letting us be part of this amazing, funny and heartwarming show."
The series has become a staple on Channel 4 since its inception a decade ago with celebrity editions still airing on the channel.
