RTE confirms popular show is to end after 17 seasons after ‘editorial review’

RTÉ has confirmed that Operation Transformation is to end after 17 seasons of the popular lifestyle show.

Operation Transformation started out in 2008, with members of the public selected to take part from the late Gerry Ryan’s 2FM radio show as they attempted to lose weight with guidance from experts in the fields of nutrition, weight loss and psychology. "I know there will be so many people who will miss OT when January rolls around. I will too!! But keep the momentum going in your communities, your GAA clubs, your local Park Runs, that is where the support is when you need it. I, for one, will continue to vocalise the importance of prioritising health wherever I can too. Thank you to RTÉ for trusting me at the helm for all these years and I look forward to the exciting new projects ahead in 2025.

"I’d also like to thank the experts, past and present, who have been so dedicated to Operation Transformation and to guiding participants on their wellness journey. I’d particularly like to pay tribute to Kathryn Thomas who took up the reins from Gerry Ryan and really made the show her own. Her empathy for the leaders and her commitment to the show really connected with audiences.
