She’s never made a secret of her cupcake fetish but after failing to fend off the lure of such fatty treats, the well-rounded Rebel Wilson and Jenny Craig have split.
Wilson's ambassadorial role with the weight-loss giant has ended long before she reached her target goal.
The Aussie actor, who pledged in July 2011 to shed 25kg, managed to drop 15kg, but the contract is over. It's unclear which party ended it.
Wilson, who weighed 106kg at her heaviest, initially said being overweight had affected her work. But it turns out the US film industry has no problem with her size, having cast her in big-budget comedies such as Bridesmaids and What To Expect When You're Expecting.
Last year the 29-year-old was forced to stop dieting for her role as a college student named Fat Amy in Pitch Perfect, but vowed to slim down to 80kg by the end of last year.
"At the moment Rebel is based in the States and is concentrating on her acting career. Due to her busy work schedule she is currently not on the JC program," Jenny Craig's Amy Smith said.
"She successfully lost 15 kilos and thanks Jenny Craig for their help and support."
The company's current Australian ambassador Mel B lost 15kg after signing up following the birth of her third child in October 2011 and continues to feature in its marketing campaigns.
Barry Humphries, Ian "Dicko" Dickson and Magda Szubanski have all shed weight as ambassadors for Jenny Craig.
Meanwhile, rival company Weight Watchers last month announced it had signed Mahalia Barnes as its new celebrity face.
Wilson has two films set for release this year - US comedy Pain & Gain starring Mark Wahlberg and Super Fun Night, a TV movie she wrote and produced.
