Ireland's Fittest Family recap: Nugents and Davy Fitzgerald go through to semi-final

A good day for the clans from Louth and Monaghan on Ireland's Fittest Family, but tonight's episode marked the end of the line for the Cork family

The Cooney family with Donnacha O'Callaghan on Ireland's Fittest Family. 

A series of thoughts run through my mind when watching the first of two quarter-finals in RTÉ’s Ireland’s Fittest Family. Firstly, how many profanities have been bleeped out of this show? Secondly, you wouldn’t want to have bad knees. Honestly, mine are creaking just watching this. And I am 24.

In tonight's installment from The Forest (aka Kilruddery Estate), four families are battling it out for a place in the semi-finals. There’s the McNally’s from Monaghan who are taking the competition very seriously, with Dad Owen erecting homemade torture devices — sorry we mean 'challenges’ — for his kids to practice at home.
