Being a part of “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Doubles” is a dream come true for Matteo Guidicelli as it fuses two of his passions - hosting and sports.

“We don’t have prompters in this show. They just put you out there, so you really have to study your material. I’m excited, and at the same time very nervous,” he shared. As a challenge master, Matteo will be giving out challenges to the 14 pairs of overweight contestants who will compete in the show to have a health and a better life.
