Rochester dumps agent in US career bid

Ajay Rochester has dumped her manager in a bid to improve her chances of a successful US career. The former Biggest Loser presenter, who left Australia for America last year after being accused of benefit fraud, revealed that she is “going [her] own way” without the representation of Max Markson.

Rochester told The Daily Telegraph: “I wish [Max] the very best of everything but for now my focus is in the USA – 100%.”

Since leaving Australia, Rochester has admitted that her “lifelong ambition” is to appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show and has reportedly started to plan a road trip to Chicago to pitch ideas for her own TV series to Winfrey.

A magazine recently claimed that Rochester has gained weight and experienced money problems since arriving in the US. She was allegedly spotted taking complimentary toilet paper and tomato sauce from a fast food outlet recently.
