NBC has moved the season premiere of The Biggest Loser back from August 21 to September 11.

NBC Entertainment and NBCU TV Studio co-chairman Ben Silverman said that the show will receive a two-hour season debut with an hour-long "Where Are They Now?" catch-up episode the previous week.

"This is an innovative way to re-introduce an audience favourite and answer the question everyone asks 'Did they keep the weight off?'," explained Silverman.

Alison Sweeney from the NBC daytime soap Days of our Lives has been lined up to host along with former trainer Jillian Michaels.

The theme of the show's fourth season will be "back to basics," with participants - including the series' oldest ever contestant - training without the ranch luxuries of the past.
