Jillian Michaels is once again leaving The Biggest Loser, NBC has confirmed.
The Peacock Network and Biggest Loser producer Shine America released a joint statement today (June 25) to announce that the personal trainer will not be involved with the show's 16th season.
NBC and Shine America's statement read: "After helping hundreds of contestants transform their lives and inspiring millions of viewers at home, The Biggest Loser and Jillian Michaels have decided to part ways and she will not be returning for season 16 when it airs in the fall."
Michaels was one of the original trainers on The Biggest Loser when it premiered in 2004, but has exited the show twice in the past.
Her most recent return to the franchise came in September 2012, and she remained on board for the 2013 season.
She also fronted the spinoff programme Losing It With Jillian in 2010.
