Host Kathryn Thomas said: "It’s been an amazing eight weeks for our Operation Transformation leaders: Chris, Marie, Maireád, Seán and Yvonne.  

"I’m so proud of how far they’ve come. By embracing a healthier way of life they have inspired thousands of people around Ireland to transform their lives.

"Already the leaders have lost a serious amount of weight but more important is what they’ve gained - a love for exercise and a healthier relationship with food. It would be hard to find five people more inspirational people to be the leaders for the tenth series of OT."
