Mark Ronson sad-a-thon, we’ve now decided to throw a pity party for winner of The Biggest Loser’s first series Adro Sarnelli. Why? Because trainer Bob Harper
ain’t returning his calls.
He had such a major impact on his life he named one of his children after him, but if Adro Sarnelli was expecting Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper to return the affection, he had another thing coming.
Two years after the first series went to air, former fat-busters feel they have been snubbed by the American fitness guru.
Series 1 winner Sarnelli called his 14-month-old son Eden Harper after the man who changed his life, but is disappointed Harper still has not met the child.
“I would love it if there was a little bit more interaction,” Sarnelli said.
“You have to be a bit realistic and sensible about it . . . so far there are 95 Biggest Loser contestants across the world. There’s part of me that wishes he replied to my emails as soon as I sent them, but I totally understand.”
It sounds to us like you understand in a crying-yourself-to-sleep kinda way, our Subway scoffing friend.
Nevertheless, Adro is adamant there’s still some love there.
He denied rumours that the pair had a falling out when Harper was too busy to catch up in Los Angeles last year, saying he was too jetlagged to see him the day he arrived and the following day Harper had to go to New York. “He didn’t dog me,” he said.
So they really
are friends, and it’s just circumstances keeping them apart, and Bob counts Adro as a bestie? Right?
While Harper was unavailable for comment yesterday, a Channel 10 spokesman told Confidential that he had filmed eight series of the show in the US.
“It’s one of those relationships which kind of blur the boundaries between professional and personal,” the spokesman said.
Which sounds a lot like “It’s not you, it’s me. I’ll call you… sometime.”
Poor Adro.
PS: We also note the line in the article saying
“Harper, who is now in Sydney shooting the American version of Loser…”
IS JILLIAN ON AUSTRALIAN SOIL TOO? DO WE NEED TO BOOK A TICKET TO SYDNEY?
WE WANT HER TO MAKE US CRY AND GET US FIT (SIMULTANEOUSLY).
