Anna Geary teases 'big changes' to RTE's Ireland's Fittest Family
TV star Anna Geary has teased major changes to RTE's Ireland's Fittest Family. The former Cork camogie captain returns as a coach on the show. And Anna said the new series, which will air in autumn, has undergone a huge revamp to its format. She said: "Oh, wait until people find out what's happening in Ireland's Fittest Family! No, I'm not going to be the person to let the cat out of the bag because I'll absolutely be taken down by the production team. "But what I will say is never before has what is about to happen, happened on the show. Let me tell you, as a coach, I was more shocked than anybody. "There are big changes, big twists, you're going to see a changed format, new locations. Oh my God! It's going to completely shake things up," she told the RTE Guide. Anna Geary appearing on The Late Late Show (Image: RTE) Anna is expecting her second child with husband Kevin Sexton. The couple are already parents to Ronan, who they welcomed in 2023. The radio host opened up about announcing her pregnancy to her fans on social media. "I think I'm very lucky that the community of people that I seem to connect with online are, by and large, extremely supportive, and they're very encouraging; inspiring at times," she revealed. "I actually said to my husband last week, when we announced our baby news, that the kindness of strangers blows me away all the time. "We always hear about social media that there's a veneer and there's a gloss and it's all curated. That is so true because while I try and show the good and the bad, the highs and the lows, and I try and be as genuine as I can, I'm still not going to be coming on Instagram and talking about a row I've just had with my husband or that my son has been particularly unruly. "And I'm not going to say for a second that I don't use the Paris filter on occasions when I've had little sleep. It just makes you look that little bit fresher."
