RTÉ today announced that the Ireland's Fittest Family clan has two new members hitting the ground running for the 11th season of the beloved show.
RTÉ 2FM presenter Laura Fox will be presenting the coming series, while legendary Olympian Sonia O’Sullivan will join as a coach alongside IFF veterans Davy Fitzgerald, Nina Carberry, and Donncha O’Callaghan.
O'Sullivan will be stepping in for coach Anna Geary, who is expecting her first child over the summer.
Galway native Laura said she is delighted to be presenting one of Ireland’s most popular family series, which is set to film this summer: "I’ve been a fan of Ireland’s Fittest Family for a long time, it’s such a feel good, brilliant programme for all the family.
"Mairead Ronan was a fantastic presenter on the show, and I’m just delighted to be following in her footsteps. I can’t wait to get started working with the incredible team of coaches on the show and the super-fit families who are going to be coming our way to take part later this year. It’s a dream job for me."
Commenting on taking on her new coaching role, Sonia O’Sullivan said: "I have always loved Ireland’s Fittest Family as it’s a positive promotion of fitness, so it makes it extra special to be joining the line-up of coaches this year. I’ve big shoes to keep warm for Anna Geary, but of course, I’m in it to win, so Donncha, Nina, and Davy… I’m here to compete and I’m very excited to get started!"
