FORMER Biggest Loser host Ajay Rochester has lifted the lid on some of the secrets of the show in an online tirade against former winner Adro Sarnelli.

Rochester lashed out on her personal blog after Sarnelli referred to her as "massive" in a Facebook post, calling his comments "disgusting, pathetic and sad".

But during the online stoush, Rochester revealed some of the extreme and unhealthy dieting practices used on the show to achieve maximum weight loss.

The former host said producers allowed contestants to complete their final weigh in days before the grand finale went to air, in order to let them recuperate from their starved state and look fresh for the cameras.

"I also remember how you (Sarnelli) presented yourself at your final weigh in (behind closed doors and a few days before filming so contestants had time to recover and look healthy)," Rochester said on her blog findingmymojo.com. "You were starving, pale, had shallow breathing, low blood pressure, cracked lips and you were unable to stand on your own two feet – hardly a great advertisement for healthy weight loss."

She also accused the season one winner of using drugs to drop significant amounts of weight.

"All the contestants begged me to ask the producers to have you drug tested. I took that request to the producers and was told they didn't want to know the truth, they just wanted a good winner and told me to shut up and go away. This was one of the many problems I faced in the job I became known for being difficult in... because I spoke up when I felt it was wrong or that we were being deceitful."

Rochester also claimed that Sarnelli had bullied producers and threatened them with legal action after he was voted off.

"It's funny, I REMEMBER how you got back into Biggest Loser to make it to the final four," Rochester wrote. "Adro, if you remember, you were eliminated by the game and fellow contestants but you threatened the producers with a court case and all sorts of things, which in the first year of a show, a costly court case and scandal was not what they wanted or needed to make the show a success. You forced them into giving you another chance, threatening to make trouble for them and so they rewrote the series and gave you a second chance, reluctantly. You think you won that fair and square?"

But in lashing out at the 2006 winner, she also revealed some of the other tricks used by contestants before their final weigh-ins.

"I complained when I had to participate in a cover up for the contestant (who also went on to win) who drank bottles and bottles of tea tree oil (and whose relative was caught smuggling more in) to lose gross amounts of weight and more."

Tea tree oil is reportedly used as a slimming agent to reduce craving of food and water.

She also accused former contestant Sam of spiking people's drinks by switching the labels on full-fat and low calorie chocolate topping.

"If there was ever an opportunity to complain about getting kicked out that was it," she said.

Sarnelli later replied to Rochester's claims on his Facebook page.

"As for you making it personal Ajay yes me getting voted out was contested and the reason you already know was because the biggest loser asked us to make the show 2 weeks longer and filled it with returned guests!" he wrote. "One of who voted me out! You know that had we said no we couldn't commit to the extra 2 weeks when they asked us way before it happened that the show would've ended with me Fiona and Kristy in the final 3. Fair??? I think not.

"With the finale, I got there because I pushed my body to its absolute limits, it was a game show and I was in it to win it….I owned my body and made it win.

Sarnelli also told Confidential: "She has made some pretty ridiculous allegations here. I made the mistake of using the word 'massive', which I probably shouldn't have. But the point I was making was that it's a shame Ajay hasn't been able to keep the weight off ... I know as much as anyone how frustrating it can be."

The Biggest Loser will be back on our screens on Network TEN in 2013.
