REPRESENTING their home county on the national stage, the Kearns family from Limerick are set to battle it out on TV for €15k and the title of ‘Ireland’s fittest family’.

Episode two of this year’s series will see four members of the Kearns family fight it out against three other families from Dublin, Tipperary and Waterford. 

Fresh from winning his first county medal, Na Piarsaigh hurler Wayne will be appearing on TV screens alongside his brother Gerard, mother Miriam and younger  brother, Alex.

The Kearns describe themselves as “as crazy and each as competitive as the next.”

With Nina Carberry as their coach, the local team are “more than up for the challenge”. Nina is a retired hunt jockey, daughter of well-known jockey Tommy Carberry. 

The Kearns will battle it out for two coveted places in the next round of the competition at a brand-new location, The Farm. 

Irish athlete Sonia O’Sullivan is also joining team coaches in this year’s lineup, alongside Donncha O’Callaghan, Davy Fitzgerald and Nina.

Season 11’s new presenter is Laura Fox, RTÉ 2fm broadcaster and rising social media star. The show will be on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on Sunday, November 5 at 6:30pm.
