Ireland's Fittest Family has announced a massive overhaul of this year's competition, which returns to our screens next week.
Paralympic swimmer Ellen Keane, Irish rugby legend Andrew Trimble, and Dublin GAA legend Michael Darragh McAuley will be joining the Ireland's Fittest Family coaching roster, alongside returning coaches Davy Fitzgerald, Anna Geary and Donncha O'Callaghan.
With the show returning to our screens on Sunday, November 2, a new host of families will look to prove their fitness in a series of gruelling heats, with brand-new challenges set by the Irish Defence Forces.
As well as the new challenges, the coaches will be bringing their competition head-to-head -- with the original coaches having their families go one-on-one with the families of the new judges.
Retired camogie player Anna Geary will have her family take on eight-time All-Ireland winner Michael Darragh; legendary hurling manager Davy Fitzgearld will take on Paralympian Ellen; while it'll be Munster vs Ulster as Donncha O'Callaghan takes on Andrew.
Kicking off week one, Anna McClements' family from Down and the Carr family from Westmeath will take on Michael Darragh, who'll have the Walshs from Cork and Byrne's from Dublin flying his flag.
In Box to the Top, the sporty families will start in the ice-cold sea, and embark on a head-to-head race along an army training ground, carrying kit bags and sandbags along the way. The competing families will then face Truck Pull, attempting to pull a 7.5-tonne army vehicle along a decommissioned runway.
The four families will battle it out for one of three places in the next round, with the scores of the first two events combined. The top two go through to the next round, while the bottom two will face off in the Army Eliminator.
'Now in its 13th series, Ireland's Fittest Family is back with its most competitive offering to date - and that's just with the calibre of coaches on board!' Alan Tyler, RTÉ's Group Head of Entertainment and Music, said. 'The show is a firm Sunday evening family favourite, and it's great to welcome some brand-new coaches to join our much-loved veterans, along with some hugely challenging new tasks.
'All told, it promises to be the toughest contest yet for our competing families, every one of whom will be running, jumping, hanging, climbing, and crawling their way towards the finish line in a bid to be crowned Ireland's Fittest Family.'
Ireland's Fittest Family returns on Sunday, November 2.
