The Biggest Loser Aus – Ajay Rochester No Longer To Host
Sad news for Ajay fans, great news for her detractors. It seems Ajay will not be back to host the 5th series of The Biggest Loser Australia next year.
Ajay Rochester will no longer host Channel Ten’s The Biggest Loser.
The network confirmed today that Rochester is leaving the popular weight-loss reality TV series after four seasons.
“Ajay has been a valued member of The Biggest Loser family and we wish her well,” said chief programming officer David Mott, adding Rochester was pursing “new opportunities”.
It has been a tough year for the 39-year-old.
In January, Rochester avoided conviction on 23 charges of welfare fraud after accepting more than $14,000 in Centrelink payments to which she was not entitled.
Previously named Lee Ann Towler, Rochester shot to fame as the author of books Confessions Of A Reformed Dieter, Blubberguts and The Lazy Girl’s Guide To Losing Weight And Getting Fit.
She began hosting The Biggest Loser in 2006.

Personally, I am gutted as I really liked her — but I know a lot of people found her to be a poor host. The only question now, is who will replace her?
I have heard whispers and fan campagins to get Alison Braun of season 3 the gig, hmm. Would you like to see Alison as host? Feel free to add your support on the official forums or drop them an email about it.
