Operation Transformation returns to RTÉ One tonight and this year's leaders will be revealed after being put through their paces physically and mentally.
On the first episode of the new series, three leaders will be chosen after an assessment day where the OT experts put 20 applicants to the test to see how they would cope physically and mentally while participating in the show.
A circle of truth section formed part of the process, where they each opened up about how they came to be at this point in their lives. One applicant, John Conmy from Co. Mayo, shared the devastating impact that his parents' death had on him and his brothers.
While the first episode will introduce us to the leaders, the Million Pound Challenge will also be launched. OT is encouraging all viewers to join in with a new initiative that will hopefully see the nation collectively lose one million pounds by the end of the year.
A series of simple exercises have been developed by fitness expert Karl Henry that can be carried out during the show's ad breaks – handy!
To show you how it's done, rugby pundit George Hook enlisted the help of his grandchildren to show off the simple but effective moves.
Operation Transformation, RTÉ One, tonight at 8.30pm.
