The Biggest Loser UK 2012 is the fifth series of the reality television show titled The Biggest Loser. The series began on ITV1 on 3 January 2012 and ended on 13 March 2012, with seven overweight pairs (fourteen individuals) competing for a cash prize. Davina McCall is featured as the host, with trainer Richard Callender and two new trainers, Charlotte Ord and Rob Edmond, who replaced Angie Dowds. Dowds had left the show part-way through the fourth season, although she returned for the final. Dowds died on 23 November 2011 in an apparent suicide.[1][2] The prize of £25,000 was won by Kevin McLernon, who shed 40% of his body weight.
