"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."
'Having fellow Cork woman, Sonia O’Sullivan, filling in this series is incredible. She’s a sporting hero of so many, including me! 'I'll really miss the buzz of filming the show, but I’m looking forward to seeing Sonia push her families to their limits. I couldn’t think of anyone better to take on Davy, Donncha and Nina and put them to the test. I hope they’re ready for her. Looking forward to seeing the rivalries unfold! 'Congrats to Laura Fox, who’s also joining the gang as the new presenter. Laura, make sure to pack the essentials - insect repellent, a good rain jacket & a GPS tracker for Davy.'Head of Entertainment Commissioning at RTÉ, Alan Tyler, revealed he was delighted to have the two join the show and looks forward to seeing them head to our screens. He said: "We’re delighted to announce Laura Fox joining Ireland’s Fittest Family as presenter, whilst the legendary Sonia O’Sullivan is coming onboard as a coach for the upcoming season. "Laura is a rising star with a genuine passion for the show and this is a fantastic opportunity to bring her to screen. Ireland’s Fittest Family is a positive celebration of fitness, focus, and family, Sonia is the perfect addition to the line-up. Whenever Sonia competes, she plans to win, so it’s bound to make for another exciting competition this year."
