MANILA – Actress Iza Calzado revealed she won’t be doing another teleserye this year as she will have her hands full for the upcoming second season of “The Biggest Loser.”
The actress’ last teleserye with the Kapamilya network was "Kahit Puso'y Masugatan," which ended in February.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Calzado admitted it would be “very hard” for her to do another show, while doing the local version of the hit American reality show.
“Parang hindi ko rin kakayanin pagsabayin. Kasi ginagawa na po namin ang ‘Biggest Loser,’ nag-grind na kasi for ‘Biggest Loser’ pero sporadic taping days pa lang. Hindi pa naka-camp 'yung contestants,” she said.
The actress, who also battled weight problems before, said she is focusing on her hosting responsibilities for the show.
"Hopefully I'll conquer it," Calzado said about hosting. "But basically I'm entering a new territory. I’ve never been given a show like this, [of] this magnitude, to host."
Calzado said the second season will feature new twists compared to the first “Biggest Loser,” especially in terms of dynamics.
“Doubles [na ito]. Tapos kahit kami, 'yung dynamics, kasi dati si Ate Shawie (Cuneta) tapos si Derek (Ramsay) lang. Ngayon we have a Team Biggest Loser so it’s Matteo (Guidicelli), Robi (Domingo), myself and then the two coaches,” she said.
