Former Biggest Loser host Ajay Rochester tries her hand at snorkelling during Sydney beach outing after 10 months of being locked up ‘like a self-imposed prison’ in her apartment

After a decade of living in Los Angeles, former Biggest Loser host Ajay Rochester has relocated back to Australia. 

And she doesn’t appear to have any regrets about the move.

On Saturday, Ajay, 51, looked happier than ever as she tried her hand at snorkeling at Clovelly Beach in Sydney.

She kept sun-safe by sporting a rash vest, which she paired with black boardshorts which featured a purple printed design.

The television personality styled her blonde hair into two plaits and went makeup free for the outing.

At one stage during the outing, she was seen carrying a netted flotation device as she made her way around the popular beach.

The sun-soaked outing comes after Ajay wasn’t able to travel to Brisbane to spend Christmas with her family.

‘I am absolutely devastated and furious,’ she told Daily Mail Australia last month.

‘I was supposed to be flying to Brisbane with my son Kai to have Christmas with the family I just met last year, my brother and sister, and now i’m stuck in Sydney,’ she said.

Like many, the former TV host hasn’t had it easy in these uncertain times. 

It took her three months to get a flight to Australia from the US due to tough Covid-19 restrictions.

‘I spent 10 months in my apartment locked up, like a self-imposed prisoner terrified of this virus while millions of others go about doing what they want and it just spiraled out of control,’ she said. 

‘I got home in the end so I’m one of the lucky ones as there are so many who haven’t been as fortunate,’ she said of her return.
