Synopsis
Twelve overweight individuals (eight couples in the 2009 revival, seven couples from the 2011-2 series) live together, cut-off from the outside world, as they are put through a strenuous exercise regime. During their stay, contestants must complete weekly tasks, cook all of their own meals, and stare temptation in the face as they are offered unhealthy treats. Each week, one person who has lost the least amount of weight (either individually or as part of a team) is eliminated, until only one contestant remains and is crowned, The Biggest Loser.
Inventor
Based on a US format.
Trivia
From 2009, the programme dropped the 'UK' from its title, becoming simply, The Biggest Loser.
Part-way through the 2011 series, trainer Angie Dowds was removed from the programme for telling the contestants to crash diet rather than eating healthily while losing weight through exercise. Eventually she apologised the following week and was invited back to the final.
Champions
2005 Aaron Howlett
2006 Jodie Prenger
2009 Kevin Sage
2011 Wil Graham
2012 Kevin McLernon
