No doubt Channel Ten would've preferred this particular story to stay quiet: Biggest Loser host Ajay Rochester (who is still contracted to the network) is headed to court next week to face 23 charges of fraud.

Yes, 23! Well done, Ajay, nice work for the blue team there.

Rochester, 39, is facing nine charges of receiving a financial advantage from a Commonwealth entity and 14 of dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage.

The TV personality, who has cultivated her celebrity status through penning several weight-loss books and fronting reality show The Biggest Loser, will begin the challenge of overcoming the next super-sized hurdle in her life on Tuesday.

While official documentation on the 23 charges is limited at this stage, Confidential understands they pertain to a period in Rochester's life which pre-dates her employment with Channel 10.

The Tele then goes on to use the phrase "larger than life personality" - kicking goals as usual!

Surprising that they didn't also find a way to fit in a few zingers like "Ajay is in big trouble" and "large amounts of legal issues"; really, why stop at one pointless dig at a famous woman's size, guys? Keep it coming!
