The Biggest Loser UK - Series 1

Launching on ITV1 on Monday 27th April and running daily at 4pm, The Biggest Loser is a reality competition in which everyone "loses". We challenge seriously overweight people to undergo dramatic physical make-overs without any kind of surgery or faddy diets, just sheer sweat and hard work.

Our contestants live and train together for several weeks to see who can lose the most weight and weekly weigh in's decide who is eliminated.

They start the show as couples: husband and wife, work colleagues, siblings, parent and child but ultimately compete to be the sole winner.

There is a cash prize but for the winner the real reward is the life-changing (and sometimes life saving) achievement of finally reaching their goal weight. This is done with the help of two top class trainers, Angie Dowds and Richard Callendar, who push our contributors to their physical limits.

It's emotional, it's engaging, it's amazing, it's aspirational, it's life changing, it's "The Biggest Loser".

Hosted by Kate Garraway the show will run daily Mon-Fri for 8 weeks on ITV1.
