Former Gogglebox star Josh Tapper has been elected as a Labour Councillor.
Josh first appeared on the Channel 4 show in 2013 at just 15 years old, alongside his parents and sister Amy during the programme’s debut series.
He left Gogglebox in 2017 after securing a Civil Service apprenticeship, later moving into politics.
On Friday, he successfully won a seat in local government after being elected as a Labour councillor for the Underhill ward in the London Borough of Barnet.
Josh received 1,128 votes, winning the seat alongside fellow Labour candidate Zahra Beg in the 2026 local elections.
