Singer and actress Jennifer Hudson has ended her partnership with Weight Watchers after four years as the company's US spokesperson.

The Oscar winner has lost more than 36 kilograms in almost four years by following the Weight Watchers' system.

Now she is parting ways with the company in order to focus on other endeavours.

Hudson announced the split in a statement which reads: "I have chosen to step away from my role as ambassador and I am excited for the year to come, with many new projects and lots of new music.

"My experience with Weight Watchers has truly been life changing. I am grateful for what I have learned throughout the process."

A representative for Weight Watchers adds, "We're confident Jennifer will remain a Lifetime Member. Jennifer's healthy lifestyle and successful weight loss has inspired so many - from her friends and family to our members and staff, as well as people around the world - and we know that inspiration lives on."

In 2011, Hudson opened her own weightloss centre in her native Chicago, Illinois.

Singer Jessica Simpson is currently a spokesperson for Weight Watchers, having lost over 23 kilograms with the program.
