Hi everybody,
Yesterday on the Gerry Ryan Show, it was Colette Cronin's turn to face the Operation Transformation Challenge. Colette, whose biggest fear in life is getting lost, was told she had to make her way to a mystery final destination, and in order to find out where that was, she had to stop at three famous landmarks where she would be given clues from familiar faces with where she had to go next.
The rules of the challenge were simple: she had to walk; she couldn't use a map; she could ask anybody for directions; and she had to make it to the final destination before the end of the Gerry Ryan Radio show at 12pm.
After a few words of encouragement from motivational expert, Pat Henry, Colette set off from Ryan Show HQ in Donnybrook, Dublin. Her first stop was the Pepper Canister Church on Mount St, where she was greeted by fitness expert Karl Henry. Karl sent her to the Spire on O'Connell St where fellow leader Jean Kelly was waiting with the next clue. And then Jean sent her off to Merrion St where motivational expert Pat Henry was waiting outside the Taoiseach's Office with her final destination.
Colette's final destination was the 5 star Merrion Hotel, where Colette and husband Noel were going to spend a night in the Honeymoon Suite and be given a romantic meal for two in the hotel's restaurant.
Below are some behind the scene pics from the challenge, but make sure to tune in to RTE 1 this Thursday at 8.30pm to see how the people of Dublin helped Colette conquer her worst fears!!!
