The new season of Ireland’s Fittest Family is returning to screens this weekend after it was postponed following the death of one of its participants.

The 12th season of the programme was originally scheduled to air last October but the broadcast was delayed after a participant passed away following the completion of filming.

RTÉ said in a statement in October: “RTÉ and Kite/Animo productions wish to extend our deepest sympathies to the bereaved family and friends at this time.”

It has now been confirmed that the series will return on Saturday, 4 January.
